UK and France Launch Migrant Returns Pilot Program

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have unveiled a groundbreaking 'one in, one out' returns scheme. This initiative aims to address the challenge of undocumented migration by deporting individuals arriving in small boats to France, while simultaneously welcoming an equal number of legitimate asylum seekers with family ties to the UK. This pilot program marks a significant step in bilateral efforts to manage migration flows more effectively between the two nations.
