About One-In, One-Out Scheme
- It 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.Â
- They frequently pay large sums of money to gangs who arrange the boats in northern France.Â
- 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.Â
- 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.
- The plan will start as a pilot, with initial reports suggesting the UK could return up to 50 people per week (2,600 per year).Â
- That is roughly 6% of small boat arrivals in 2024.Â
- The remaining arrivals will continue to be processed under the UK’s existing system.
