FILE: London to help France pay for Calais migrants Britain has bowed to French pressure to help foot the bill for migrants flooding into the northern port of Calais in a bid to reach Britain, Paris said on Saturday. French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said London had agreed to contribute up to 15 million euros (£12 million, $19 million) to a fund to help deal with the problem after Calais's mayor threatened to close the busy cross-Channel port earlier this month.
