Yvette Cooper says the rules around illegal immigration and people-smuggling haven't been respected "for far too long". The home secretary, who hosted 40 foreign counterparts at the Border Security Summit in London, adds they have agreed "new law enforcement cooperation" and "intelligence sharing" to "go after these vile criminal gangs and tackle this terrible trade in human beings".

The home secretary says "new and serious patterns" have emerged in illegal migration, causing "major challenges" for national security. Yvette Cooper adds that smuggling gangs are using drones "to spot where the border patrols are". But she adds that it is "governments, not gangs" that should decide who enters the country.
