OVER 100 PEOPLE DETAINED AFTER ARRIVING IN SMALL BOATS-Says UK Government

The UK government has said more than 100 people who have crossed the Channel on small boats have been detained before potential removal to France, under the new “one in one out scheme, 

No one has yet been granted a safe route to the UK, after reports that migrants in Calais were becoming frustrated with a lack of response when they tried to apply.

The scheme is reportedly reciprocal, as the first arrivals “will come alongside returns in the coming weeks”. Those detained will be held in detention centres until that point.

More than 200 people crossed the Channel to Britain on boats on Sunday, during clearer weather.

Ministers said they plan to launch a mass communications campaign to people waiting in camps in northern France to warn them that they risk being deported back to France, though opposition parties have claimed the numbers will be roughly one in 17 of those crossing the Channel.
