DEPORTATIONS of migrants under the UK Government's “one in, one out” deal with France are yet to begin amid further reports of planned removals being halted.

A second Air France flight departed from Heathrow yesterday without any migrants on board, according to reports. A small group of migrants were also said to have been removed from a flight on Monday after a legal challenge.

Ministers agreed the pilot scheme with the French government in July as part of efforts to deter the record number of arrivals by small boat crossings so far this year.

‘The first detentions of migrants took place last month as the deal came into force, and they have been held at an immigration removal centre pending their removal from the country.

The Telegraph reported that a migrant taken off the flight on Monday was due to fly out of the country yesterday instead, but his flight has been delayed for at least another day.
