The Home Office is still putting asylum seekers on planes to France, weeks after the "one in, one out" scheme ended, the Guardian has learned.
The Guardian understands the department continues to detain dozens of people. One group was forcibly removed this week.
The scheme was announced in July 2025 by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the former prime minister, Keir Starmer. It aimed to deter small boats crossing the Channel from northern France to the UK. Under it, some asylum seekers who arrived in the UK were returned to France, while a similar number of people in northern France were brought legally to the UK.
