The new migrant scheme which will see an expected 50 migrants a week returned to France is both more "humane" and "immediate", the MP for Dover and Deal has said.

The UK and France have agreed to a ‘one in, one out’ migrant deal that will see failed asylum seekers returned to France for the first time since Brexit.

Britain will grant asylum to one migrant in France who can prove a family connection to the U.K. in exchange for each arriving migrant taken back by France.
