Undocumented Migrants: Deportation
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps is she taking to prevent irregular migrants who have been removed under the UK-France Agreement on the Prevention of Dangerous Journeys, published on 5 August 2025, from returning to the UK.
- Answer
-
As of 20 October, 42 returns have taken place under the exchange agreement. Anyone who re-enters illegally may face immediate detention and, where appropriate, we will seek to expedite removal. This will not count as a new removal in the reciprocal scheme.
We continue close cooperation with France to strengthen border security and disrupt criminal gangs.
