A small boat migrant has been sent back to France for a second time in less than two months.

The man was initially sent back to France on 19 September, before returning to the UK on a small boat on 18 October.

He has been sent back again as part of the latest tranche of returnees under the “one in, one out” agreement with France.

As part of the agreement, 94 migrants who came to the UK illegally on small boats have now been removed.

In return, a total of 57 approved asylum seekers have been brought to the UK.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said: “Anyone looking to return to the UK after being removed under the UK-France agreement is wasting their time and money.

“This individual was detected by biometrics and detained instantly. His case was expedited, and now he has been removed again.

“My message is clear: if you try to return to the UK you will be sent back. I will do whatever it takes to scale up removals of illegal migrants and secure our borders.”
