Key Points:
Emergency legislation to get flights off to Rwanda finally passed through Parliament after MPs defeated Lords' efforts to ground the planes. Small boat migrants could be detained this week ahead of the first flights in July.
Prime Minister's Pledge:
The Rwanda Bill is crucial to the Prime Minister's pledge to 'stop the boats,' with commercial planes secured to take migrants to Kigali rather than the RAF. A stream of flights throughout the summer is declared, and officials have been hired to help deport small boat migrants.
Ministers' Assurance:
Ministers assure that the groundwork has been done for the Safety of Rwanda Bill, including increasing detention capacity, training caseworkers, and preparing to escort illegal migrants to Rwanda. The Bill aims to force judges to deem Rwanda as a safe country for asylum seekers.
