Home Office figures show Aeolian has been paid £2,093,800 since July last year and Cwind £1,786,199 in the same period. A Home Office spokesperson said: 'The catamarans leased under these contracts are considered more suitable for the task of rescuing migrants from small boats, than the larger vessels in the Border Force maritime fleet. "As a result, our fleet of cutters and coastal-patrol vessels are free to concentrate on tackling the wider threats around the UK coast. "This includes preventing the smuggling of drugs and firearms into our country.' This week Reform and the Conservatives accused the Government of 'blaming the weather' for record numbers of crossings in the 12 months since April 2024. Shadow Home Secretary The Sun revealed yesterday that immigration was seen as the worst-handled issue under Labour.
