Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UK-France 'One In, One Out' Migrant Scheme Scrapped
Caption: UK-France 'One In, One Out' Migrant Scheme Scrapped. The UK government has scrapped its "one in, one out" migrant agreement with France after concluding the scheme had not reached the desired scale. The pilot allowed Britain to return some migrants who arrived by small boat to France, while accepting an equal number of people from France with a legitimate claim to enter the UK. Around 1,500 people have been returned to France since the programme began just over a year ago. The Home Office said no new cases would be processed under the scheme, although removal flights would continue over the coming weeks. The government said lessons from the pilot would be used to accelerate efforts to return migrants with no right to remain in Britain. Officials added that cooperation with France to tackle Channel crossings would continue, with small boat arrivals significantly lower than last year.
