Second migrant deported to France under ‘one in, one out’ scheme returns to Britain on small boat
Migrant returns to UK after being deported under ‘one in, one out’ policy
- A migrant previously deported to France under the UK-France 'one in, one out' agreement has returned to the UK and will be removed again swiftly.
- This is the second such incident, following another migrant who returned after deportation and was sent back to France in early November.
- The Home Office confirmed the individual was detected by biometrics, detained immediately, and their removal will be expedited.
- Both the Home Office and the Prime Minister's spokesperson stated that attempts to return after removal are futile, with the system effectively detecting and re-deporting individuals.
- Under the UK-France treaty, 94 migrants have been removed to France, while 57 have been granted sanctuary in the UK, amidst recent high numbers of Channel crossings.
