The Prime Minister will declare people smuggling a "national security" issue as the Government plans a blitz on small boat crossings.
Sir Keir Starmer is expected to use a speech at Interpol's general assembly next week to announce the creation of a specialist investigation unit that will use counter-terror powers to tackle people smugglers, the Sun on Sunday has reported.
