MPs have rejected 10 amendments to the Rwanda Bill, with Rishi Sunak set to face a fresh battle with the House of Lords over his migrant plan.
Majorities ranged between 57 and 78 against the series of amendments - a relatively positive outcome for the government.But the showdown is set to continue on Wednesday, when peers may once again attempt to make changes in a process known as "ping-pong".
That's what the House of Lords is there for and that's the one time in which the House of Lords could properly stop a bill because it is unconstitutional."Shadow Home Office minister Stephen Kinnock said of the 10 amendments: "They each serve to make this shambolic mess of a bill marginally less absurd, and they would serve only to put in statute what ministers have actually promised from that despatch box.
