Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the annual cost of applying a Danish model of border control and asylum policy.

Plans to Restore Order and Control to the UK asylum and returns system draw inspiration from the Danish model but are not a simple copy. Assessment of the costs and benefits of the model will be made through Impact Assessments where legislation is required to enact the changes presented in the policy statement to the House on 17th November.
