Nope, I've already posted the legal position.

Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do.

Better having no boats in the first place.

Yes, migrants can be returned to France under certain circumstances, primarily if they are deemed to be illegally present and have not been granted asylum or other legal status in the country they were trying to enter. The specifics depend on the countries involved, their legal agreements, and international law

So, what happens after the inflatable has been punctured.

Yes, the agreement of France.

They cannot pick them up in UK waters and take them back to France without agreement.
They can rescue them in French waters and take them back to France, they do not need France's permission.
They can prevent them from entering UK territorial waters, again without France's permission.

nothing to do, other than tow them back to france

In French waters the safest port to take them would obviously be france

I thought it would sink!

Does it depend which territorial waters it is in at the time.

Not if you puncture one of the sponson so it renders it unuseable

 

[Highway Man]

Some of them are like the titanic where they have chambers so you can puncture the front, back or middle chamber and it won't sink but is unuseable
