It might be cheaper to place asylum seekers up within the Ritz resort in Paris than the federal government’s Rwanda scheme, Labour’s Jonathan Ashworth has claimed.
Chatting with Sky Information on Monday, 1 July, the shadow paymaster normal criticised the price of Conservatives’ plans to ship asylum seekers to the African nation.
The federal government says it has to date given Rwanda £240m and the complete price “will probably be clear over time.”
Labour has stated will instantly scrap the scheme and divert £75m from it to a brand new Border and Safety Command.
Rooms on the Ritz in Paris vary from €1,800 (£1,530) to €40,000 (£33,996) an evening.
