Emma Foody

Labour (Co-op) — Cramlington and Killingworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 December 2024

Debate

Migration and Border Security

Contribution

Was the Home Secretary as surprised as me to hear that, as part of the £700 million spent by the previous Government on the failed Rwanda scheme, the package of support that the four volunteers who went to Kigali received included five years of free housing, free food, free private healthcare, free university education and free vocational training, all at a cost of £150,000 per person? Does she agree that Rwanda was in no way a deterrent but a colossal waste of money?
