Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether any migrants admitted under the one in, one out deal have been charged or convicted of a criminal offence.
The information requested is not centrally held and could only be collected and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
All individuals seeking to come to the UK under the UK/European Applicant Transfer Scheme, part of the UK-France Agreement, undergo stringent security and criminal checks. Any who fail these will not be permitted entry to the UK. Furthermore, any individuals who then proceed to make an asylum claim in the UK are subject to robust, mandatory security checks.
Under our agreement with France, we have removed over 1000 illegal migrants from British soil, contributing to the nearly 70,000 illegal migrants who have been returned since July 2024.
