New Delhi, May 15 -- Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed on Thursday that the UK is in talks with several countries to establish "return hubs" for asylum seekers who have been refused the right to stay in Britain and exhausted all legal avenues.

Speaking to GB News during an official visit to Albania, Starmer said the new approach is to manage migrant returns more effectively.

"What now we want to do and are having discussions of. is return hubs, which is where someone has been through the system in the UK, they need to be returned. and we'll do that, if we can, through return hubs," Starmer said.

He described the concept as a "pretty important innovation" to help Britain control irregular migration more effectively.
