The UK and France are in discussions over a proposed migrant swap agreement aimed at managing small boat crossings across the English Channel. Under the pilot scheme, for every migrant the UK deports to France, France would send a person with a legitimate claim to live in the UK, such as for family reunification. The plan is part of broader efforts by the UK government to curb illegal migration and strengthen cooperation with European partners. Critics may raise concerns about the ethics and practicality of a one-for-one exchange system. The Home Office has confirmed that talks are ongoing and that collaboration with France is being intensified.
