France will get more money to stop small boats crossing the Channel, British foreign secretary James Cleverly has said ahead of an Anglo-French Summit, reports the BBC.
Mr Cleverly has travelled to Paris with prime minister Rishi Sunak to meet French president Emmanuel Macron.
Small boat crossings will be on the agenda as well as the conflict in Ukraine.
A deal on returning migrants arriving in the UK to France is not expected.
However, asked if the UK was planning to offer France more money to help police French beaches - from where most small boats leave - Mr Cleverly said: "It will cost money, it has cost money."
Speaking to BBC Breakfast, he said the two countries would be discussing how to fund joint efforts but wouldn't speculate on the outcome of those talks.
The Times newspaper has reported that the UK will give France over £200m over three years.
Last year, the UK agreed to pay France £8m a year to increase surveillance of French beaches.
