New deal with Iraq to return illegal migrants

THE Government has agreed a new deal with Iraq to return illegal migrants as part of wider moves to limit small boat crossings.

The deal, signed by Home Office minister Dan Jarvis, will set up a formal process to return Iraqis who have arrived in the UK with no right to stay in the country. It comes after an £800,000 deal last year with Baghdad to help the country crack down on smuggling networks and organised crime.
