Undocumented Migrants: France
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of attempted re-entries are successfully detected under the reciprocal agreement with France.
Answered by Alex Norris
Two individuals who had previously been returned from the UK to France under the reciprocal exchange agreement attempted to re-enter. They were detected, detained, and their cases expedited for return. We are not aware of any other attempts to re-enter the UK from those returned to France under the scheme.
We continue to work closely with our French counterparts to ensure that those who are returned under the agreement do not re-enter the UK illegally.
