Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
Before the Minister gets up to tell us about the cost-benefit ratio, might I remind him that a deterrent is not designed to be regularly used. Our nuclear deterrent, for instance, we have, thankfully, never used. We cannot measure the Rwanda plan on the number of people who went to Rwanda; we need to judge it on the number of migrants who never travelled in the first place.
