Man flown from France as part of legal entry programme decries effect on others ‘who may have a similar case’

The individual benefited from the “one in” part of the controversial “one in, one out” scheme, where one asylum seeker who reached the UK on a small boat is forcibly returned to France in exchange for another being brought legally to Britain.
