The UK-France “one in, one out” migrant scheme has been scrapped, ending an arrangement under which about 1,500 people were removed to France during its first year of operation.
The scheme began just over a year ago and was intended to govern the return of some migrants from the UK to France. In return, the arrangement was linked to the admission of others through the scheme, although no further details about its operation or the reasons for its cancellation have been provided.
Around 1,500 people have been removed to France since the scheme was introduced. Its discontinuation marks the end of the UK-France arrangement after a relatively short period in operation.
The supplied information does not set out the reasons for the decision, whether an alternative system will replace it, or what arrangements will now apply to migrants affected by crossings between the two countries.
