The Prime Minister says there will be "no complacency" in cracking down on Channel crossings.
Prime Minister Andy Burham has said his government will be "relentless" in working towards stopping small boat crossings completely, but he would not set a date on when that could be achieved.
In an interview with BBC South East, just days after two migrant vessels reached the Kent coast unintercepted, he backed Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's call for a review into the landings, saying he wanted "urgent answers".
Burnham said there would be "no complacency" in the crackdown on the people smuggling gangs behind the operation.
"We will not stop until we bear down on every element of this criminal activity in a way that gets the numbers right down," he said.
As well as the vessels which came ashore at Samphire Hoe, between Dover and Folkestone, on Tuesday, and near Folkestone on Monday, a total of 781 migrants arrived in 10 small boats on Wednesday.
This is currently the highest number for a single day this year, according to Home Office figures.
