Deported migrants caught trying to return to Britain after France fails to house them

The removed individuals will be dropped in Paris before the flight continues to Albania, where it will repatriate a group of the country's criminals and failed asylum seekers.

The flight will be the latest in a series of removals under the one-in, one-out deal with France.

As of October 19, the total number sent to France stood at 42, with 23 asylum seekers transferred the other way.

But now, a slew of migrants who were sent back under the scheme are waiting in Calais.

The Times reports the asylum seekers are planning to return to the UK because they were homeless in France.

Those deported under the one-in, one-out scheme were initially given camp beds in dormitories at an asylum shelter.

However, other than the initial accommodation, the majority of the 42 migrants who have been deported are banned from claiming asylum in France and do not qualify for free shelter.

Under the Dublin Agreement, they qualify for deportation to the first EU country which they entered - typically Mediterranean nations like Italy or Greece, or EU border states like Poland.

Any migrant who has been fingerprinted in another country can in theory be removed by France.

However, several migrants have found a loophole in this by claiming they were victims of police brutality in the countries which they were set to be removed to, such as Poland and Croatia.

As a result, they are left in limbo and without accommodation in France.

A lawyer who has represented some of the migrants said: "NGOs have said they can't get asylum in France because of Dublin, so they think 'what's the point?'.

"They may as well try their luck [to re-enter the UK] and the scheme is so arbitrary that they may well try again.

"They're not going to get anything out of France. There's no support while they're out there so they'll keep trying to come back."

Earlier this month it was revealed that an Iranian migrant returned to Britain on a small boat less than one month since he had been deported to France.

On Wednesday, the Government confirmed he is still in the UK.

There have been no Channel crossings since October 22 due to stormy weather - but thousands of migrants are massing on France's northern coast to make the journey.

The Home Office said: "We will not accept any abuse of our borders. Individuals who are returned under the pilot and subsequently attempt to re-enter the UK illegally will be caught and removed.

"We work closely with our French counterparts to ensure the pilot operates effectively.

"The pilot was agreed with both France and the European Commission in order to ensure it is compliant with domestic, European and International law."
