Calais migrants: Work to start on UK-funded wall


Vikki Woodfine, of law firm DWF, works with many hauliers and said a wall "isn't the answer".

"It is simply a knee-jerk reaction that is unlikely to make a difference in the long run - particularly since the

route to the Calais port is already surrounded by fences and barbed wire," she said.

She said the "real problem" was a lack of policing.
