Nearly 500 migrants crossed the Channel in small boats on Saturday, the Home Office has said.
The latest figures show that 492 people made the crossing in nine boats – after a week that saw hundreds more make the journey.
Some 107 arrived on Wednesday, 125 on Monday and 703 last Sunday, the figures reveal.
