Senior government figures believe that they are at the cast to achieve a success with Emmanuel Macron on a deal, which will see that France will at least take back some of them who have crossed the English channel on small boats.
In turn, UK will take refugee claimants from France who want to come to the UK and is believed to have a valid reason to do so.
This is being called “One-in-One” out deal, although the number will be more than that.
But when the deal is later declared, the important word to look out is “preventive”.
Sir Kir Stmper has stated that both the French President agrees to “a new preventive to break the business model of the gangs”.
The big question is to what extent agree to that amount, especially in short term.
Will it put people in a small boat?
About 50 migrants are expected to join the pilot scheme a week, which in exchange for taking the same number of asylum in France in exchange for France, which is considered a valid case to go to Britain.
Critics, including conservatives, say it would be about 5% of those who are currently trying to crossing, and therefore it would be an inadequate preventive.
Toryse pointed to the preventive they had planned, but never started – the idea of ​​sending migrants to Rwanda. The plan was abolished when Labor won the election.
But it is true to say the agreement, although initially Limited Limited, Franco is a new moment in British diplomacy on the issue – France’s desire is to withdraw some of those who are involved in the cross channel travel.
Testing, in the months and years, can it be enough to enhance this numbers to have a sufficiently extended impact?
Or, to keep it more clearly, do numbers try to start a crossing, or not?
Because until they do, the plan is likely to be seen as a failure, at least, on this side of the channel.
