Interesting read when you absorb it all in as were spending 3 times more on this than housing the homeless already on our streets it no wonder folk get up tight .
The report finds that in terms of small-boats Channel crossings:
66.03% of the 45,755 people who crossed to the UK on small
boats through the English Channel in 2022 were males aged
between 18 and 39 years (30,211 individuals).
This is almost ten times more than the number of females who fall in the same
age bracket (3,052 individuals).
The number of small-boat arrivals of Albanian nationality rose
sharply between 2020 and 2021 (54 to 815 individuals) and
2021 and 2022 (815 to 12,301 individuals) near-identical
increases of 1,409.26% and 1,409.33% respectively.
In both 2018 and 2019, not a single person registered as an Indian
national arrived in the UK on small boats via the English Channel.
From 2021 to 2022, the number of Indian nationals who crossed
to the UK on small boats increased by 919.4% - from 67 to 683
individuals.
In terms of the public costs of the small-boats emergency:
Using the asylum backlog figure at the end of 2022 (166,261),
the total estimated one-year cost of asylum-related spending
on hotel accommodation, standard asylum-related allowances,
healthcare, and school places along with the sustenance of the
new bodies such as the Small Boats Operational Command (SBOC)
and a technical unit specialising in asylum applications made by
Albanian nationals is in the region of £3.5 billion.
The mid-point estimate of the one-year public spend on
accommodating newcomers in hotels (£2.2 billion) is three and
a half times higher than the £630 million government investment
in 2022-23 to tackle homelessness in the UK.2
It also exceeds the
entirety of the government funding allocated for Round 2 of the
Levelling Up Fund (£2.1 billion).
Using the asylum backlog figure at the end of 2022 of 166,261, if
everyone involved was in receipt of the standard weekly asylumrelated allowance provided by the UK Government, this would
have an estimated one-week cost of nearly £7.5 million. The
estimated one-year cost is nearly £390 million.
Applying the healthcare-related spend per head for the general
population, the estimated one-week expenditure based on the
end-of-2022 asylum backlog figure of 166,261 people would be
over £13 million. Over the course of a year, this rate of spending
would add an estimated healthcare-related cost which is in the
region of £700 million.
Based on the Department for Educations expenditure per child,
the estimated cost of providing asylum-connected places for one
academic year of state-school enrolment based on the endof-2022 asylum backlog figure is over £186 million.
The estimated salary costs of the new Small Boats Operational
Command (SBOC) are estimated at £23.7 million per year. The
corresponding cost for the new unit dedicated to processing
Albanian-national asylum applications is over £13 million.

Why is there a backlog of 166 thousand when only 47 thousand crossed the channel last year?
It's a year on year build up. We have a friend who has just started working for the dept responsible for processing the claims. She is a legal secretary (the only one there). Every claim takes forever and the claim / appeal / appeal the appeal etc can take about 18 months. Not enough staff to process them, a long winded process and more arriving by the day -means it will never be cleared.
You realise the govt are being held back by legal challenges they profoundly disagree with and by politicians they profoundly disagree with? Govts can't literally do anything they want.
One of the benefits of a Labour govt will be to see them own these kind of issues. I hope they can deal with it better but nothing suggests they will
They wont - unless their 'policy' is to let everyone stay - give them a house and a job and a school for their kids etc.
And then in 2 years they will be facing the same problem but worse. But some people here fail to see the problem or have the bollox to try and fix the issue, they just take the easy route.
Shut up with your silly nonsense you daft old tart
You voted in the tory filth who sold you the deal they would sort out immigration
It's their problem and your problem
Because they are failing to deal with the problem which they promised they would
And you voted them in
Write to Rishi Sunak
It's not good slagging off the next government who if Labour havnt been in for 13 years
Fiver says youd be kicking off about scroungers and benefit cheats if we housed all the homeless people.
Last week you said Starma was a Tory, then you said you thought Corbyn was a cock and yet you claim to be a Labour supporter. You cant stand Drakeford, your lack of cognitive function is truly hilarious. You cant decide whether you are Marthar or Arthur sunshine
You wouldnt know a socialist if it sh@gged you up the @arse.
Starmer is absolutely hopeless
But even he's not bad enough to be a tory
Corbyn is a complete cock and loads of labour party members resigned and threw in their cards when he got elected leader
I think Drakeford is 2 years too late in resigning
But having said that I would rather vote for any of those idiots or the liberals or green than for a tory
That's what horse heads the majority of the population in the UK think of the Tories
Apart from little englanders like you
You are in a special group there
Stick together
Little Englander , with all the Conservative attributes of that lot
But born in Wales
That's even worse
I will pray for your soul as you are wheeled to the ashes
So anyone that dares to have a different political point of view other than your own and you turn on the hate, no problem - you;ll have it back in spades.
I was talking to an associate of yours last night in the Butchers in Rhiwbina, some interesting tales were told
