A total of 70% of the 163 homes on the Bwiza Riverside estate have been sold to private buyers.

Authorities in the capital Kigali insisted: "None of the housing estates were ever meant to be only for migrants". They added: "The idea is to integrate migrants into Rwandan communities, not create migrant ghettos."

Ms Braverman said: "I'm disappointed to read that expectations have fallen and that the Rwandans are now selling off some of those properties."

The former Home Secretary also declared the "only way" to end the Channel small boat crisis is to send hundreds of asylum seekers to Kigali on "regular" flights.
