UK-France Migrant Returns Scheme Ends After 1,500 Removals to French Territory
The 'one in, one out' arrangement between the UK and France for returning migrants has concluded, with approximately 1,500 individuals removed to French territory since its inception just over a year ago. The programme allowed for the return of irregular migrants to France in exchange for France accepting asylum seekers who had initially entered the UK from French soil. While British officials assert the scheme demonstrated successful bilateral cooperation on migration, its cessation marks a shift in the operational approach to cross-Channel movements.
