The UK government will pay Rwanda at least another £15 million ($19.1 million) to secure an immigration deal, according to the Sunday Times.
The sum is on top of £140 million already given, and is intended to allow the African country to spend more on its asylum processing system, the newspaper said, citing senior government sources.
