UK ‘watching with interest’ European migrant return hub push: PM

The UK is monitoring an EU initiative for establishing migrant deportation centers outside Europe, as stated by Prime Minister Andy Burnham, reflecting ongoing efforts to address illegal immigration.

DUBLIN: Britain is following “with interest” a push by several EU countries to set up migrant deportation centers outside the bloc and is considering its next steps, Prime Minister Andy Burnham said Thursday.

“The public want us to do whatever we can to deal with illegal immigration. We’ve made progress, as you know, on small boat crossings, but we’ve got further to go. So we are considering our next steps, and we will keep those developments under review,” Burnham told journalists after a European summit in Dublin.
