Starmer and Macron to announce ‘one in, one out’ migration deal

Plan for Channel crossings marks forward step for the two leaders, though further UK funding remains a sticking point

Keir Starmer and Emmanuel Macron will announce a “one in, one out” migration deal on Thursday that will involve the UK accepting some cross-Channel asylum seekers but returning others to France.

The two leaders are expected to cap the French president’s three-day state visit to the UK with a press conference in London at which they will announce the new plan to tackle small boat crossings.
