		</div><p>Britain&#8217;s Home Secretary has declared the rising number of migrants attempting to cross the English Channel a “major incident”.</p>
<p>Sajid Javid has asked for an urgent call with his French counterpart in a bid to tackle the problem which has seen attempts by migrants to cross the Channel over the Christmas period.</p>
<p>After two boats carrying 12 men from Syria and Iran were intercepted while they attempted to make the crossing on Friday, Mr Javid also appointed a “gold commander” to oversee the situation and give daily updates.</p>
<p>St Stephen&#8217;s Day saw three more migrants intercepted in a small boat, and on Thursday an inflatable boat carrying nine people was rescued by a lifeboat crew three miles off the coast of Sandgate in Kent.</p>
<p>Immigration Minister Caroline Nokes will visit Border Force officers in Dover on Saturday, alongside Mr Elphicke, to discuss the situation.</p>
