Migrant crisis: Dinghies to UK could be 'disabled using nets'

[Asked whether the method was similar to Royal Navy trials,
in which nets were used to snag up propellers
and bring boats to a standstill
, Mr O'Mahoney said:
"It's that type of thing, yes. So safely disabling the
engine and then taking the migrants on board our vessel."]

[He said this was just one of a number of
methods his team has considered deploying over
the next few months, but he did not go into further details.
Mr O'Mahoney, appointed by Home Secretary
Priti Patel in August, said he was working
with people "everywhere across government to
come up with new tactics" to tackle illegal migration across the Channel.]
