Robert Jenrick ripped into Labour's "do nothing approach" to stopping small boats in a fiery Commons conflict with Yvette Cooper.

The immigration minister mentioned the opposition celebration's plan was the "fastest route to more crossings, greater taxpayer spending and more pressure on our communities".

Mr Jenrick made the feedback as he responded to an pressing query on the Illegal Migration Bill financial influence evaluation.

The shadow residence secretary branded the evaluation by the Home Office as "garbage", "clueless" and "chaotic".

But the immigration minister hit again: "When she said that this document was garbage and clueless I thought she was referring to her own five-point plan to tackle illegal migration."

Mr Jenrick added: "The truth is Labour's do nothing approach to stopping the boats is the fastest route to more crossings, greater taxpayer spending and more pressure on our communities.

"Left unchecked, the fee will spiral to £11 billion by 2026 - that's the price of a Labour residence secretary, that's the price of Cooper."

According to the economic impact assessment, it could cost £169,000 for every migrant removed to Rwanda.

The document said that the asylum system could cost £32 million a day by the end of 2026.

Mr Jenrick told the Commons: "The influence evaluation printed yesterday makes clear that inaction is solely not an choice.

"The volumes and costs associated with illegal migration have risen exponentially, driven by small boat arrivals. Unless we act decisively to stop the boats, the cost to the taxpayer and the damage to society will continue to grow.

"The asylum system at the moment prices £3.6 billion a yr and £6 million a day in lodge lodging. That is just not the true price of doing nothing.

"As this impact assessment shows, the cost of accommodating illegal migrants has increased dramatically since 2020 and if these trends continue the Home Office would be spending over £11 billion a year, or £32 million a day, on asylum support by the end of 2026.

"In such a situation, the Bill would solely must ship a 2 p.c deterrence in arrivals to allow price financial savings."

Mr Jenrick said £11 billion is an "extraordinary amount of cash", adding: "Nearly 10 occasions the amount of cash the taxpayer spent on the asylum system as not too long ago as 2021, and anybody opposing this Bill wants to elucidate how they might pay these prices; given the Labour Party's opposition to this Bill, it represents one other £11 billion blackhole of their fiscal plans."

Ms Cooper said: "I used to be going to ask if the immigration minister had severely signed-off this rubbish of an influence evaluation that no self-respecting minister may presumably assume was critical, however really the nonsense he has simply mentioned is even worse and even much less coherent."

She added: "I've by no means seen something extra clueless and chaotic than this.

"It does provide evidence of the scale of Conservative failure - the cost for one person in the asylum system for just one night has gone up five-fold in four years.

"That is simply the price of Tory mismanagement; it is gone up sooner than mortgages, vitality payments, it is even gone up sooner than the value of cheese."

Last yr 45,755 individuals have been detected to have made the perilous journey throughout the Channel.

The Illegal Migration Bill, which is at the moment making its manner by way of Parliament, goals to make sure those that arrive within the UK with out permission might be detained and promptly eliminated, both to their residence nation or a 3rd nation equivalent to Rwanda.
