Fallon Says Akrotiri Migrants Not UK's Problem
The Defence Secretary says 114 migrants who landed by boat at RAF Akrotiri are not Britain's responsibility.
Michael Fallon also says there is no possibility that a new migration route will be allowed to open up on the shores of Cyprus.
British and Cypriot authorities are still negotiating over the future of the asylum seekers, amid questions about the interpretation of a 2003 agreement on the issue.
The Defence Secretary Michael Fallon insists this agreement with Cyprus means the migrants at RAF Akrotiri are not Britain's responsibility.
