Join EU migration pact to tackle small boats, says Ed Davey

Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, called for the United Kingdom to join an EU migration pact, stating that participation would undermine human trafficking operations involved in Channel crossings. The Liberal Democrats said the scheme would "destroy the business model" of gangs arranging these crossings. The specific details of the EU migration pact and the mechanism by which UK participation would affect trafficking were not detailed in the statement.
