Small boat crossings are down more than a quarter compared to last year, from 37,575 to 26,116.<\/p>\n<p>The government is also increasing the number of asylum seekers at the Wethersfield site in Essex, which can hold 1,700 people while Scampton, Lincolnshire will hold 2,000.<\/p>\n<p>Border Force officers yesterday (MON) intercepted the first small boats crossing in a week. Men, women and children were brought ashore after making the journey in at least four boats.<\/p>\n<p>The migrants wore life vests and were wrapped in blankets as they came off the patrol boat at Dover, Kent, to be processed by the Home Office.<\/p>\n<p>The boats arriving are the first since October 16 when 185 people were brought ashore from six small boats.<\/p>\n<p>The crossings come after the Home Office announced on Friday that an annual cap on the number of refugees accepted in the UK would be launched in January 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Local authorities are being invited to set out their \u201ccapacity\u201d to accommodate people coming to Britain via safe and legal routes in order to determine the limit, the department said.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/g> <defs> <clipPath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"\/> <\/clipPath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &#038; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/politics\/1827170\/migrant-crisis-hotel-small-boat-progress\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ministers will end the use of 100 migrant hotels by spring after making \u201cprogress\u201d in tackling the small boats crisis.
