Fewer than two hundred lorry drivers are waiting to travel to France following a week of disruption at the English Channel border, the UK Department for Transport (DfT) has said.

Thousands of drivers spent days in queues to reach the Port of Dover and Eurotunnel after France temporarily closed its border on December 20.
