Migrants in France will be handed a visa to live in Britain for up to three months if they apply through Labour’s new ‘one in, one out’ deal.
Details of the new Anglo-French scheme published by the Home Office today revealed applicants will be able to come to this country while their final application is considered.
Documents said each successful applicant who meets a number of criteria would be ‘granted entry clearance to come to the UK for a period of up to three months’ after completing an online application.
They will not be allowed access to public funds and will also be barred from working or studying during the initial three month period, while the Home Office considers whether it will grant a longer visa.
It is unclear where the migrants will be housed, however, opening the prospect of them being placed in taxpayer-funded hotels.
