In a letter to the interior minister on Wednesday, Matthew Rycroft also said there was “uncertainty” about the “value for money”. The permanent secretary at the Interior Ministry said the economic value “depends” on whether the policy is “effective as a deterrent”.

Photo file He added: “The deterrent data is extremely uncertain and cannot be quantified with sufficient certainty to provide me with the necessary level of certainty about the value for money.” Mr Rycroft said that while the policy could prevent migrants from traveling, “there is not enough evidence to conclude that it will happen” at the moment. He added, however, that he acknowledged that there were “potentially significant savings to be made in preventing people from (re) entering the UK illegally”. Having presented his argument, he asked for Ms. Patel’s “written instruction” to proceed. In her response, the Interior Minister acknowledged that “it is not possible for HMG to accurately formulate the deterrent effect from day one”. However, he said he was confident that “this policy is our best chance to produce this result”. A combination of “new incentives and effective deterrents” is needed to “tackle criminal gangs that facilitate illegal entry”, he added.

But he added that “without action, costs will continue to rise” and that there are “credible arguments for investing for long-term savings”. He concluded by saying that it would be “unwise” to “allow the absence of quantifiable and dynamic models” to “delay the implementation of a policy that we believe will reduce illegal immigration, save lives and ultimately break the business model of smuggling gangs”. Ms Patel wrote: “I formally instruct you as an accountant to promote this plan with immediate effect.” Image: Home Secretary Priti Patel and Rwandan Foreign Minister Vincent Biruta The number of people who arrived in small boats on Saturday was 252, the Ministry of Defense states in its latest announcement. He added that he “does not believe” that any of them “arrived on his own terms”.

He noted: “The asylum system costs the taxpayer more than 1,5 1.5 billion a year – the highest amount in two decades, and the current cost of hotels is about ,7 4.7 million a day, including those received through resettlement programs. ». He also said that “I was convinced that this (Rwanda) policy is regular, correct and feasible. Ms Patel said she was concerned about the impact staff had on dealing with high levels of illegal immigration. She wrote: “Every day I am impressed by the extremely demanding work we ask of the officials of the Ministry of Interior and the operational staff of the Border Forces at all levels. “With this in mind, I believe there is an urgent need to act now to mitigate the impact on staff well-being as well as the department’s operational and financial pressures in the long run.”
