FROM BBC NEWS WEBSITE:
UK turns down 'jungle migrants'
Some 1,500 migrants live in very poor conditions outside Calais
The UK Border Agency has rejected calls for Britain to accept some migrants from the illegal camp in Calais known as "the jungle".
High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres had said the government should consider granting entry to those who already have large families in the UK.
He spoke after French officials said the camp would be shut down imminently.
But the UK Border Agency said genuine asylum seekers should make their claim in the country where they enter Europe.
An agency spokesman said: "People seeking asylum should do so in the first safe country they come to, those who are not in need of protection will be expected to return home.
"The decision to close illegal encampments in and around Calais is a matter for the French government and we will continue to cooperate with them on tackling illegal immigration."
