There is “no clear evidence” the Government’s plan to send migrants to Rwanda will deter Channel crossings, according to MPs.
The Commons Home Affairs Committee accused ministers of hunting for “radical new policies that might make good headlines” but do little to stem the flow of people attempting the dangerous journey. It warned “quick-fix solutions” will not tackle the crossings as it called for an asylum system that “deals with reality”.
The committee’s report said: “Much more clarity is required on the new plan to relocate some migrants from the UK to Rwanda. There is no clear evidence that the policy will deter migrant crossings.”
