Sangatte to close in April

The Sangatte refugee camp near Calais will close in April next year as part of a drive to cut cross-Channel asylum seekers.

The centre will accept no more new refugees from November 15 and the British and French governments hope that many of the refugees will be tempted home by the offer of a £1300 cash payment.
