The Home Secretary has said that the new “One in, One Out” Pravasi Yojana agreed with France on Thursday, “strong enough” to face possible legal challenges.
Yweet Cooper said she was in close contact with European governments, which had expressed concern about the deal, saying that the European Union was “very assistant and assistant”.
He told the BBC Breakfast that the government has “done a lot of work to ensure that the system is strong for legal challenges”, which stopped the efforts of the previous government to deport Rwanda to some illegal migrants.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Filp described the plan to return France as a “gimmick” to a 50 migrants in a week.
A deal was signed by Sir Kir Stmper and French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday, with Britain’s return migrants who return to France in small boats.
The scheme – which will initially run as a pilot – proposes that every migrant for UK returns, Britain will accept another who has made a legal claim in France, which the two countries say it will act as a preventive.
Cooper will not be drawn on how many migrants will be exchanged under the deal, although it is expected that the pilot will include around 50 people a week.
He said that the government would “provide updates” on the data of the pilot moving forward.
The Home Secretary said that the pilot scheme would be with a plan to target illegal working in the UK, which he said was a bridge factor that was running small boat crossings.
Asked that if a migrant who has returned to France, he tries to cross the channel for the second time, he said he would “return” and be banned from the UK Sharan System.
PHILP dismissed the plan as a “another gimmick”, which would allow most illegal migrants to live in the UK, and said that the Labor’s pledge was not accepted by the pledge “breaking the gang”.
He said that the Rwanda scheme originally proposed by Boris Johnson described the “100% illegal arrival removed” and described the decision to rinse the plan as a “horrific” mistake of Sir Kir.
Cooper stated that only four migrants were sent on Rwanda and voluntary basis, and the previous government’s migration approach described as “chaos”.
Since 2018, when the figures began to gather, more than 170,000 people have come to Britain in small boats.
This year, the number has reached a record level with around 20,000 in the first six months of 2025.
On Thursday, Macron said that the plan would have a “preventive effect” beyond the numbers returned, and suggested that Brexit has made it difficult for the UK to deal with illegal migration.
