The agreement is an extension of the existing Home Office voluntary returns process, under which migrants are offered financial assistance worth up to £3,000 to leave the UK for their country of origin. Mr Jenrick, who quit as immigration minister in December with an attack on the PM's 'weak' Rwanda Bill, this afternoon derided the new voluntary scheme planned by the Government.
'Symbolic flights of people being paid to leave isn't a strategy to stop the boats and end this national security emergency. 'That's why our Rwanda scheme and legislation is so important and what I've said repeatedly and will happily say to her again is I will not let a foreign court block our ability to send people to Rwanda when the time comes,' he added.
'We are also now able to send individuals to Rwanda, which means we can also voluntarily remove individuals - including those whose home countries are too unsafe to return to. It would also be more worth around 14 times the average monthly salary, after tax, in the Rwanda capital, the website stated. 'It's about saying to people, if you come here, you can't stay here if you come here illegally. That's the point.A Home Office spokesperson said: 'In the last year, 19,000 people were removed voluntarily from the UK and this is an important part of our efforts to tackle illegal migration.
Labour accused ministers of 'resorting to paying people' to go Rwanda upon realising their deportation scheme 'has no chance of succeeding.'
