Later in the day, Sir Keir is expected to meet Chinese Premier Li Qiang and sign a number of new agreements between the UK and China. Some 60% of the engines powering the small boats crossing the Channel have been found to be Chinese-manufactured while the boats are often made using Chinese parts.

So far the crossings have continued, with 933 people making the journey already this year, bringing the total since Sir Keir came to power to 65,647.
