Keir Starmer's "one-in, one-out" pilot scheme is in place, enabling the UK to detain and return migrants arriving by small boats to France. This move is part of a treaty aimed at reducing illegal Channel crossings and breaking trafficking networks.

For every illegal migrant caught, a legal migrant may be allowed entry, contingent on strict checks. The Home Office expects swift detentions and plans to bolster efforts against organized crime. The treaty will undergo review in June 2026.
