Critics of the Government’s plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda have claimed the scheme will ‘cost more than booking every person into the Ritz’.
He hopes it will break the business model of the ‘vile people smugglers’ who are ‘turning the Channel into a watery graveyard’.
Mr Bryant offered no evidence for his theory and it’s unknown if he has taken into account all costs, the fluctuating number of people coming to the UK and uncertainty over exactly how many will be sent to Rwanda, as well as the final price tag. Students at Eton pay £14,698 per term, a £400 registration fee and £3,200 acceptance fee. Home Office officials have said the Rwanda scheme will primarily be for adults.
Australian offshore centres in Pap New Guinea have been shut, but the government scheme is ongoing in Nauru. It has been criticised amid claims of poor conditions and mental health suffering. ‘It will do little to deter them from coming to this country, but only lead to more human suffering and chaos – at a huge expense of an estimated £1.4 billion a year’, he said.
