Migrants told streets ‘not paved with gold’ in Britain

Migrants in Calais are being warned Britain’s streets are “not paved with gold” as part of a new £7m (€10m) initiative.

The declaration signed by Home Secretary Theresa May and her French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve includes a commitment of €5m per year from Britain over two years for measures to help manage migrants gathered in the French port town.

It says the two countries are “unified” in their response to a “migratory phenomenon without precedent”.
