One-In, One-Out Scheme

One-In, One-Out Scheme Latest News

An Indian man 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.

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. 
  • 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.
• 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). 
  • That is roughly 6% of small boat arrivals in 2024. 
  • The remaining arrivals will continue to be processed under the UK’s existing system.
