Britain has paid Rwanda £140 million in a deal to take migrants off its hands – but none have been sent there and the Home Office is unable to say if the stalled controversial policy is worth the expense.
He faced the Commons home affairs committee along with home secretary Suella Braverman, who conceded: ‘We’ve lost control of our borders.’
That is more than in the whole of last year – and Mr Rycroft admitted the Rwanda policy would ultimately be judged on whether it deterred people from coming here.‘The success of the scheme will not be measured in how many thousands of people will be relocated to Rwanda but more by how many people do not make the dangerous crossing of the Channel.’On April 14, Ms Patel hailed her ‘world-first’ agreement with Rwanda for it to receive migrants.
Meanwhile, Ms Braverman blamed human traffickers for overcrowding at Manston migrant processing centre.The home secretary was repeatedly questioned by the committee over where the fault lies for problems at the facility in Kent, which have included outbreaks of disease.
