The home secretary has hailed the \u2018milestone\u2019 of more than 100 migrants being returned under the\u00a0government<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0\u2018one in, one out\u2019 deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shabana Mahmood said 113 people who arrived by small boat have been
\ndeported in two months, with 84 arriving here by legal routes in return so far.<\/p>\n

The deal, which was announced by Sir Keir Starmer and\u00a0Emmanuel Macron<\/a>\u00a0in the summer, aims to deter anyone thinking about making the perilous journey across the English Channel, by introducing the risk they will simply end up back where they just left.<\/p>\n

However, more than 8,000 people have arrived in the country on small boats since the first person was flown back took place on September 18.<\/p>\n

And there have been two high-profile incidents of people making the crossing for a second time after being returned to France.<\/p>\n

The latest figures, shared exclusively with\u00a0Metro<\/strong>, show the total number of migrants sent back under the scheme hitting three figures for the first time, with 13 flights taking off so far and more set up for the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Mahmood said the latest \u2018milestone\u2019 should send the message to those crossing in small boats: \u2018If you enter the UK illegally, we will remove you as quickly as possible\u2019.<\/p>\n

She added: \u2018We are ramping up action to tackle these unacceptable crossings and remove and deport those with no right to be here.<\/p>\n

\u2018We want to go further and faster to scale up these removals, but this shows our scheme is working. I will do whatever it takes to secure our borders.\u2019<\/p>\n

Migration Minister Mike Tapp told\u00a0Metro<\/strong>\u00a0the 113 people deported so far represent the early stages of a pilot scheme that will grow as legal issues are \u2018ironed out\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Dover and Deal MP also said that more than 35,000 people had been deported and removed from the UK in the meantime.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018What it does is it starts to seed that doubt into the migrants who are looking to cross that they might be spending up to \u00a310,000 to then be immediately removed.<\/p>\n

\u2018And as it grows further, the deterrence will also grow.\u2019<\/p>\n

Tapp said it was \u2018difficult to say at this moment in time\u2019 what deterrent effect the scheme was having, \u2018because of course, people are still crossing\u2019.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

However, he continued: \u2018As we continue to deport more and remove more, and people are returned almost immediately back to France, then we will see it having a deterrent effect.<\/p>\n

\u2018But also we\u2019ll see more measures coming out from the\u00a0Home Office<\/a>\u00a0to make it less attractive to come here and people easier to deport.\u2019<\/p>\n

The 84 people who have arrived in the UK have come from places such as Vietnam,\u00a0Afghanistan<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Syria<\/a>, Tapp said.<\/p>\n

They speak with French officials who assess whether their claim for asylum is genuine, before being brought over for assessment by the British asylum system.<\/p>\n

The current total of 113 does not include the man who was returned to France under the scheme on October 16 and\u00a0took a small boat back<\/a>\u00a0to the UK on November 9.<\/p>\n

He was the second person to repeat the journey after their initial deportation.<\/p>\n

The first, an Iranian man, arrived back on British shores on October 18 and was removed for a second time last week.<\/p>\n

Mahmood said: \u2018Anyone looking to return to the UK after being removed under the UK-France agreement is wasting their time and money.<\/p>\n

\u2018The two individuals who tried were detected by biometrics, detained immediately and their cases expedited. One has been returned to France already and the other will be removed as quickly as possible.\u2019<\/p>\n

Shadow home secretary Chris Philp said the latest figures mean just 0.6% of small boat arrivals since the announcement of the deal in the summer have been sent back to France, adding: \u2018No one can call that a deterrent with a straight face.\u2019<\/p>\n

He continued: \u2018This is what happens when a government of human rights lawyers tries to run a border.<\/p>\n

\u2018Keir Starmer and [attorney general] Lord Hermer built their careers defending open borders. They don\u2019t have the backbone to stop illegal immigration or the conviction to protect our country.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mahmood is preparing to outline measures described by her department as the \u2018most sweeping reforms to tackle illegal migration in modern times\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Home Secretary will reportedly be taking inspiration from the\u00a0model used by the Danish government<\/a>, which turns away around 95% of asylum seekers.<\/p>\n

Those who are accepted are granted a revocable temporary visa, on the proviso they can be returned to their home nation if it is later deemed safe enough.<\/p>\n

Mike Tapp said he would not \u2018steal Shabana\u2019s thunder\u2019 by revealing what new measures will be announced.<\/p>\n

But he said: \u2018For far too long, we\u2019ve seen migrants asylum shopping and looking for that soft touch \u2013 that\u2019s going to end.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re going to make it less attractive to come here and ensure that it\u2019s easier to remove and deport people through legal challenges, so looking at the ECHR and modern slavery laws.\u2019<\/p>\n

What is Denmark\u2019s asylum model \u2013 and how is the UK trying to emulate it?<\/h2>\n

The Government has pondered importing\u00a0Denmark\u2019s hardline policy towards asylum seekers<\/a>\u00a0in a bid to curb numbers.<\/p>\n

Under prime minister Mette Frederiksen, the Scandinavian nation has brought successful asylum claims to a 40-year-low.<\/p>\n
