The government will ask MPs to vote against amendments to the Safety of Rwanda Bill, including preventing deportation of modern slavery victims and restoring court's decision-making power on Rwanda's safety. The Liberal Democrat leader criticizes the flawed policy and urges the government to consider the changes.
The government will call on MPs to vote to overturn the amendments when the Safety of Rwanda Bill returns to the House of Commons later this month. The five defeats tonight included moves to prevent modern slavery victims being deported to Africa against their will, and restoring the ability of the courts to decide whether Rwanda is a safe country.
Dick Newby, the Lib Dem leader in the Lords, said: “Time after time, this Bill has been proved to be deeply flawed, yet this Conservative Government continues to promote a policy that frankly is unworkable. “We are calling for Sunak and Cleverly to seriously consider the changes this House has called for. It is far too dangerous to ignore these amendments because lives are at stake. “The Government should now accept that the policy is fatally flawed and will do little to solve the sky high asylum backlog.” The Safety of Rwanda Bill is designed to overcome legal challenges to past attempts to send asylum seekers with a one-way ticket to the east African country
