UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron
Sir Keir Starmer said the UK will begin returning migrants arriving in small boats to France within weeks under a new pilot scheme.
Under the "one in, one out" deal, some arrivals would be detained and returned to France.
In exchange, the UK would accept an equivalent number of asylum seekers, subject to security checks and provided they had not tried to enter the UK illegally.
Speaking alongside French President Emmanuel Macron, the UK Prime Minister said the plan would show that attempts to cross the channel in small boats would be in vain.
He did not confirm how many people would be returned or accepted during the pilot.
