Family with small child first to arrive under 'one in, one out' deal
The Guardian
|September 25, 2025
A family of three including a small child have become the first arrivals from France under Keir Starmer's “one in, one out” deal, the Home Office has said.
The move yesterday follows the removal of the first four asylum seekers from the UK to France over the previous six days, despite continuing legal challenges.
Under the deal, which was signed in July by Starmer and the French president, Emmanuel Macron, the UK agreed to detain Channel asylum claimants and send them back to France in return for taking a similar number of asylum seekers with family ties to the UK.
