The Work and Pensions Secretary has told NickFerrariLBC the Rwanda migrant plan will be 'money well spent' if it reduces the number of Channel crossings.
Last year, 45,755 people were detected to have made the perilous journey across the English Channel in small boats.
He claimed this had led to a "drop in the number of Albanians of well over 90%," he said if the Rwanda plan managed to provide the same drop in numbers it would be "money well spent."Picture: LBC "The Government has only looked at one option and, as the House has heard in committee stage, there are other choices the Government could have made.
He added: "The impact assessment does not contain an explanation of the costs and benefits, it does not outline alternative policy options and was not published on the same day that the Bill was introduced. "It sets out the broad costs of implementing the Bill, outlines potential savings and highlights examples of where policy and operations have delivered an impact on illegal migration in other countries."The minister explained: "The volumes and costs associated with illegal migration have risen exponentially, driven by small boat arrivals.
