Lords vote against Government's Rwanda Bill sending it back to the House of Commons.
James Cleverly vows 'these tragedies have to stop' - follow ourFive people, including a four-year-old girl, died in the latest Channel migrant tragedy today, hours after Rishi Sunak vowed to push on with deportation flights to Rwanda .
Following the reports of deaths in the English Channel, Home Secretary James Cleverly said: 'These tragedies have to stop. I will not accept a status quo which costs so many lives.' The Prime Minister has said 'nothing will stand in our way' of getting flights off the ground after the Government's Rwanda deportation plan passed through Parliament
But they relented just after midnight, paving the way for it to become law and allow delayed flights to start in July, in a move Tories hope will boost the party's hopes of being re-elected later this year. The unelected chamber ended the deadlock after MPs rejected a requirement that Rwanda could not be treated as safe until the secretary of state, having consulted an independent monitoring body, made a statement to Parliament to that effect.
Illegal migration minister Michael Tomlinson said the Government was prepared for 'inevitable' legal challenges to the Rwanda scheme. 'And it makes clear that the UK Parliament is sovereign, giving Government the power to reject interim blocking measures imposed by European courts.'That's what we have done.Earlier in the upper House, the opposition did not press its demand for the Bill to include an exemption from removal for Afghan nationals who assisted British troops after what critics hailed as a concession.
Rishi Sunak told a press conference yesterday in Downing Street he was ready to make MPs and peers sit through the night to break the impasse on the crucial legislation Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the Rwandan scheme is an 'extortionately expensive gimmick' and that if Labour wins the next election, they will introduce an alternative plan.
