‘One in, one out’ deal on Channel crossings to end in October, French reports say

Controversial agreement under which UK can return people who arrive by small boat will reportedly not be extended

The “one in, one out” agreement on cross-Channel migration between the UK and France is due to end in October, according to French media reports.

Under the terms of the deal, asylum seekers who arrive in the UK in a small boat can be forcibly returned to France, in exchange for others in France who have not tried to cross the Channel being brought to the UK legally.
