PoliticsNearly 50 asylum seekers deported under ‘one in one out’ scheme return to UK

Nearly 50 asylum seekers removed under the UK’s ‘one in one out’ arrangement have been recorded returning to the country for a second time. The Home Office has detained 49 of those returnees, according to the Guardian’s findings. Officials believe an unknown number may also have entered without being detected. The figure raises questions about the agreement with France, although UK ministers insist that repeat arrivals will be removed.
