One-In, One-Out Scheme:
An Indian migrant has become the first to be deported from the UK under the new “one-in, one-out” migration deal with France, which swaps illegal arrivals for approved asylum seekers
- One-In, One-Out Scheme is a migration agreement between the UK and France.
- The deal is aimed at deterring migrants from making dangerous trips across the English Channel from France to the UK in small boats.
- Many migrants without visas or permits departing France by sea attempt to cross to the UK in small, inflatable boats.
- They frequently pay large sums of money to gangs who arrange the boats in northern France.
- Journeys can be incredibly dangerous, and people have died making the crossing.
- Under the new agreement, France will agree to take back asylum seekers who have crossed over to the UK and who cannot prove a family connection to the UK.
- For each migrant France takes back, the UK will grant asylum to one migrant from France who can prove a family connection to the UK and who have not previously attempted to enter the country illegally.
