Stop the boats and stop housing the illegal channel-crossers with British taxpayers money"
The Conservatives say: "Yes, certainly", but ignore the request.

Quote:It also said it had reduced overall asylum support costs by half a billion pounds in the last financial year. This had saved £200 million in ODA which had been passed back to the Treasury.

500 million - 200 million leaves 300 million pounds.
Where did that other 300 million pounds disappear to?
