Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many illegal migrants have (a) arrived in and (b) left the UK under the government's one in, one out deal.

As of 6 March, 380 people have been transferred from France to the UK via the new safe, legal route and 377 people have been returned to France. It is not appropriate to provide a continual update on each phase of the operation, not least as it involves sensitive information that could prove valuable to the organised immigration crime gangs that are behind small boats crossings.
