How effective is UK's one-in-one-out migrant deal with France so far?

"Just four men who crossed the English Channel in small boats from France to the United Kingdom have been deported back to France under a migrant-swap scheme signed between the two countries in July. The deportations, which have taken place over the past week, were carried out under a one-in-one-out migrant deal signed between the UK and France. A fifth, Eritrean, man has won a High Court ruling placing a temporary block on his deportation."

"The deal, which had an initial target of exchanging 50 migrants between the UK and France each week, was designed to stem the arrival of tens of thousands of migrants from France to the UK in small boats. This year, more than 32,000 people have made the journey. Last week, UK Home Office figures showed that 1,072 people crossed the English Channel in 13 boats an average of more than 82 people per boat on September 19 alone."

Four men who crossed the English Channel in small boats from France to the UK have been returned to France under a migrant-swap scheme signed in July. The deportations occurred over the past week under a one-in-one-out agreement that swaps returns with granted asylum for migrants with UK family connections. A fifth man won a High Court ruling temporarily blocking his deportation, and the Home Office was refused permission to appeal. The deal aimed to exchange 50 migrants weekly to deter risky crossings and reduce arrivals; more than 32,000 people have crossed this year, with 1,072 crossing in 13 boats on September 19.
