Labour is looking to keep up with the ongoing migrant crisis after the “one in, one out” deal with France, aimed at curbing Channel crossings, was scrapped last month.
Under the scheme, people who arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel could be detained and returned to France in exchange for an equivalent number of asylum seekers who applied through a safe and legal route.
As of October 1, some 1,500 asylum seekers had been deported, while slightly fewer came to Britain from France, GB News understands.
Deportation flights will continue in the coming weeks for those already detained.
