The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Mr David Lammy)
As I made clear in my Locarno speech on 9 January, tackling irregular migration is an FCDO priority. We regularly engage with counterparts in priority countries to strengthen collaboration on tackling organised crime and to secure migrant returns.
