US EditionMore than 70 migrants returned to France under 'one in, one out' scheme
The scheme started in August aims to deter illegal Channel crossings by returning 75 migrants to France while 51 arrived legally, Home Office said.
- On Friday, the Home Office confirmed 75 migrants have been removed to France while 51 people have arrived in the UK under the scheme, with deportation flights carrying 20 on Thursday and 13 last Wednesday.
- The 'one in, one out' deal came into force in August as a pilot scheme returning asylum seekers arriving by small boat in exchange for vetted legal arrivals, aimed at deterring dangerous Channel crossings.
- Cases like this highlight strain on the returns pilot as an Iranian man re-entered the UK on October 18 claiming modern slavery, while some 36,954 crossings this year challenge deportation efforts.
- A Home Office spokesman warned these returns 'send a warning' and said the government will scale up removals and enforcement measures, while Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer defended the approach as 'on course' and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticized it as 'in total chaos'.
- Amid legal tensions, Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said `A handful of immigrants have now been returned to France through this deal whilst nearly 16,000 illegal immigrants have crossed the Channel since the deal was announced, meaning we have allowed 99.5% to stay`.
