SIR
– Under international law and the Dublin Convention, those applying for asylum
should do so in the first safe country that they enter.

it is evident that someone has managed to evade security in France and enter
Britain illegally, that person should be returned for their asylum claims to be
dealt with there – just as the French have done on the Italian border.
