HOME Secretary Shabana Mahmood has ordered an urgent review into modern slavery laws amid fears human rights lawyers are exploiting them to prevent migrant deportations.

- By Michael Knowles

A series of human rights claims meant Air France flights took off from Heathrow to Paris for a third consecutive day without any small-boat arrivals being on board.

Yet the UK could start accepting migrants from France on Saturday.

Victim

The Prime Minister's deal with President Emmanuel Macron was thrown into disarray on Tuesday night when the High Court blocked the deportation of an Eritrean migrant.

The human rights claim - the first challenge to reach court over the deal - came after deportation flights failed to take off on Monday and Tuesday.

The Eritrean claimed that he was a victim of modern slavery.

He arrived in Britain by small boat on August 12 after his mother paid £1,000 to smugglers.
