Rwanda Plan costs revealed- £1.9 million for each migrant

It would be cheaper and easier to give them each £250k and a ferry ticket back to France.

Rishi Sunak’s beleaguered Rwanda deportation plan will cost taxpayers more than £500m, a shock report reveals today.

In a revelation branded a “national scandal” by Labour, the public spending watchdog said the scheme would cost £576.8m if just 300 asylum seekers were sent to the east African nation.

It would represent a total of £1.92m per person sent to Rwanda and account for just 1 per cent of the UK’s asylum seekers.

Yvette Cooper, Labour’s shadow home secretary, said: “This report reveals the national scandal the Tories have been trying to hide.”
