- Sir Keir Starmer's flagship "one in, one out" scheme is returning only 12 migrants a week to France, falling short of the initial promise of 50 per week.
- Since its launch last August, 377 people have been returned to France under the pilot, while 380 migrants have been allowed to apply for asylum in the UK from France.
- The scheme faces legal challenges from migrants, with 40 per cent of those detained making trafficking claims, arguing that French authorities do not adequately support victims.
- A joint High Court claim by over a dozen migrants, some already deported, challenges the scheme's lawfulness and the Home Office's policy on modern slavery claims.
- A High Court judge recently halted the removal of an Eritrean trafficking victim to France due to concerns about access to accommodation and healthcare support there.
