UNBELIEVABLE: One in one out deal now active with first migrants detained | History Defined

Emmanuel Macron Sir Keir Starmer Yvette Cooper France Channel Dover the English Channel United Kingdom
  • The first migrants to cross the English Channel have been detained under a new 'one in, one out' deal.
  • The detentions began on Wednesday, the initial day the pilot scheme became active, for people arriving in Dover.
  • The agreement, announced by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron, stipulates that adult migrants crossing the Channel risk return if their asylum claim is deemed inadmissible.
  • Under the scheme, for each small boat migrant returned to France, an asylum seeker will be allowed to enter the UK from France via a legal route.
  • Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said that this sends a clear message to migrants and organised crime gangs.
