Britain took in almost 900 asylum seekers from the European Union’s member states last year – but removed just 100 in exchange.  
Official data showed 882 claimants were transferred to this country from the Continent under rules set by Brussels.
But only 105 asylum seekers were transferred out of Britain to EU countries under the same measures.
The so-called ‘Dublin regulation’ – which the UK ceased to be part of at the end of the transition period – set out how asylum seekers could be returned to another member state if they had previously claimed refugee status there.
