The UK and France have announced new measures to prevent "undocumented migrants" entering the Channel Tunnel by tackling the criminals who smuggle them to Calais and across the Channel.
The plans include the creation of a joint police operation aimed at tackling the people-smugglers who profit from the desperation of those trying to reach British shores.
The government has confirmed that the disused Manston Airport in Kent will be used as an emergency lorry park to ease traffic backlogs caused by the growing number of migrants attempting to get to Britain from Calais.
Transport Minister Lord Ahmad said: "By using Manston Airfield we have secured an interim solution while we work to find a longer term resolution."
The Department for Transport said the agreement will enable Kent County Council, Highways England and Kent Police to use the site temporarily.
It said the priority was to keep traffic and goods moving and ensure people on both sides of the Channel could go about their lives normally.
A joint police operation has been launched to target people-smugglers who profit from the desperate migrants trying to reach the UK.
