“It’s down, but it’s down not very much.” says UK Correspondent Gavin Grey in this morning’s immigration discussion with Ryan Bridge.

The UK Government is spending $4.4billion on hotel bills housing migrants. Although this is down from $4.6billion the previous year, Grey says it isn’t enough.

Money to fund this is coming from the overseas development fund, a system that Grey calls, “unsustainable.”

Arrests for immigrants working illegally in the UK have increased, but Grey says the hotel bill continues to get longer with no end in sight.

Rodney local board member and road safety campaigner Geoff Upson join Ryan Bridge to talk about the safety of young people on the road.

Upson says that although road fatality rates are declining, there is more work to do when it comes to educating first-time drivers.

He said that professional driver training alongside more time in the car with Mum and Dad could make all the difference tomake sure teenagers know how to conduct themselves on the road.

Upson also said that education about the car itself is also lacking, with misunderstandings in tire grip capacity leading to more accidents in the rain.
