Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate her Department has made of the cost of her plan for processing migrants and asylum seekers in Rwanda.
This question was answered on 19th May 2022
Under the Migration and Economic Development Partnership the UK is investing an initial £120 million into the economic development and growth of Rwanda.
Funding will also be provided to support the delivery of asylum operations, accommodation and integration. Every person’s needs are different, but we anticipate the amount would be comparable to processing costs incurred in the UK. Funding is only provided while a person remains in Rwanda.
