Sir Keir Starmer in talks with ‘quite a few international locations’ over return hubs for failed asylum seekers

The UK is in talks with “a number of countries” about sending failed asylum seekers to return hubs in third international locations, Sir Keir Starmer has mentioned.

The prime minister confirmed the plan at a press convention alongside his Albanian counterpart Edi Rama within the nation’s capital, Tirana.

Sir Keir described the hubs as a “really important innovation” that enhances different measures the federal government is taking to crack down on felony smuggling gangs.

“We are in talks with a number of countries about return hubs,” he mentioned.

“At the appropriate time, I’ll be able to give you further details in relation to it.”

Sir Keir didn’t say which international locations he’s in talks with, however Mr Rama prompt he’s not open to internet hosting UK detention centres as Albania has already signed a deal for Italy to construct them there.

“We have been asked by several countries if we were open to it, and we said no, because we are loyal to the marriage with Italy and the rest is just love,” he mentioned.

This can be a completely different idea to the Tories’ failed Rwanda scheme which Sir Keir scrapped virtually instantly after profitable the overall election.

The Rwanda plan concerned deporting all individuals who arrived within the UK by unauthorised means to the east African nation, the place their asylum claims could be processed for them to settle there, not in Britain.

Return hubs could be an offshore location to carry migrants set to be returned to their house international locations and who haven’t any likelihood of remaining within the UK.

The Rwanda scheme didn’t get off the bottom earlier than the Tories misplaced the election, regardless of tens of millions spent, after it was repeatedly challenged within the courts.

Shadow house workplace minister Chris Philp at present insisted it might have acted as a deterrent, whereas the return hubs are a “con on the British public”.

He mentioned: “It’s better than nothing but it won’t work because most of the people crossing the Channel are of nationalities where they will get their asylum claims granted.

“It is a con on the British public for Keir Starmer to say these return hubs may have any sensible impact.”

Mr Philp also called it a “slap within the face” and “humiliation” for the prime minister that Albania has already rejected the idea, saying he’d travelled all that way to “announce a couple of tweaks” to a cooperation deal that was put in place by the Conservatives.
