Summary

Institute for Fiscal Studies says Home Office repeatedly lowballed its budget estimates.

Ministers knew budgets it submitted were insufficient and habitually drew on Treasury reserves.

Labour said it was proof the previous government had “covered up’ the extent of the crisis in the asylum system and that ministers “ran away from the problem”.

Home Office and Treasury have budgeted for asylum costs leaves a lot to be desired.

A Labour source said: The sheer scale of the Tories ’ utter incompetence at governing is a total farce’ But a Conservative source hit back and said the government had not set out any plans to reduce the costs.
