The Prime Minister is now up and announces a £17 million to help move refugees from Calais to safe places in France and "priority security infrastructure". He says: "We are stronger, safer, and better off within a reformed European Union" and that we have control over our borders because we are not a member of Schengen. He said: "The £17 million comes on top of a series of announcements about British expenditure to help the situation in Calais, particularly to strengthen the border at Calais. "Because it is very important that people should know that if they come to Calais that is not a waiting room for getting into the United Kingdom, that we have strong borders, we man those borders together in Calais, and it is very important people understand that.

When asked if the government was "scaremongering," Cameron told journalists he is drawing on his "experience" as Prime Minister and is looking at "all the facts." He says he is dealing with "reality" and not on hypothetical questions. Cameron adds that he, Hollande and Chancellor Merkel will speak to Putin tomorrow on the phone and that Russia needs to cease attacks targeting the Syrian opposition. Cameron: "Russia needs to end its attacks on civilians and moderate opposition" in Syria. — Ben Riley-Smith (@benrileysmith) March 3, 2016
