    And that price almost certainly doesn’t include the cost of hosting the vulnerable refugee that Rwanda sends to the UK in return.

    Article 19: Resettlement of vulnerable refugees

    The Parties shall make arrangements for the United Kingdom to resettle a portion of Rwanda’s most vulnerable refugees in the United Kingdom, recognising both Parties’ commitment towards providing better international protection for refugees.

      Oh that’s brilliant! I wonder if all those foaming at the mouth about how we are getting rid of unwanted forriners realise we’ll get some refugees in return.

        Very few do, I think. It’s been in the deal since the beginning, although until the recent re-write it was Article 16. Same wording as before, different article number.

        The House of Lords have asked the government repeatedly just how many migrants the UK will accept in return, and the government have dodged and not answered. For all we know, it could be 1 for 1.
