Caroline Noakes hit out at the Rwanda scheme after a report claimed that it will cost up to £169,000 for each migrant
The Chair of the Commons Women and Equalities Select Committee hit out as the plans on LBC News, blasting the plans as "expensive" and inappropriate.
Noakes added: "I don't think this is an appropriate mechanism but I think what these figures have shown us is something I have argued all along: it is extremely expensive, and I am far from convinced that the British taxpayer is going to get value for money from a scheme which has seen millions paid to the Rwandan government so far without a single person being removed with additional costs for a chartered plane which never took off, or the court costs as this goes through the legal...
"I have always thought this was a flawed scheme, and the Home Office's own figures that are out today show us just how expensive it is going to be," Noakes concluded. However, the report did note that: “The Bill is a novel and untested scheme, and it is therefore uncertain what level of deterrence impact it will have.”
