LONDON (Reuters) -Britain on Thursday reached an agreement with France on a pilot programme to return migrants arriving in small boats, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said.

"Migrants arriving via small boat will be detained and returned to France in short order," Starmer said at a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Starmer said that for every migrant returned, a different individual would be allowed "to come here via a safe route: controlled and legal, subject to strict security checks and only open to those who have not tried to enter the UK illegally."
