Home Office says man left Heathrow for Paris early on Friday after losing high court attempt to block move
An Eritrean man has been deported to France under the UK government’s “one in, one out” deal with the neighbouring country.
The man – the second to be deported under the agreement – was on a flight that left Heathrow for Paris at 6.15am on Friday, the Home Office confirmed after he lost a high court attempt to block the move.
This is in exchange for those who apply in France and are approved to come to Britain.
The first person to be removed under the agreement – an Indian national who arrived in the UK by small boat in August – was put on a flight to France on Thursday morning.
