answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/09/2022 answer text <p>There are no plans for a cost-benefit analysis of the Migration and Economic Development Partnership with Rwanda to be published.</p><p> </p><p>A Ministerial Direction was issued ahead of this policy proceeding and relevant letters have been published. Uncertainty is to be expected with a partnership as innovative and ground-breaking as this. As the Permanent Secretary’s letter states, there are potentially significant savings to be realised from deterring people entering the UK illegally. However, because such a deterrent effect cannot be quantified with sufficient certainty, Ministerial Direction was required to proceed.</p><p> </p><p>Actual spend will be reported as part of the annual Home Office Reports and Accounts in the usual way.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 23/09/2022 13:06:53 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
