Rwanda bill delayed for at least a day after Lords pass amendments

Legislation to return to the Commons with changes that would ensure conformity with UK and other law and protect claimants

The Rwanda deportation bill has been delayed for at least one more day after the House of Lords voted for amendments that would ensure that it adheres to international and key domestic laws.

The plan to spend £541m to send 300 people seeking asylum to east Africa was sent back to the House of Commons after peers voted several times to add protections for claimants to the bill.
