Critical that Rwanda flights take off in the spring, Robert Jenrick says

A new treaty with Rwanda is in the “final stages” of negotiations, according to immigration minister Robert Jenrick.

He said it was “absolutely critical that flights go off to Rwanda in the spring”.

His comments came after the UK Supreme Court ruled the government’s flagship asylum policy was unlawful. 

The new treaty would protect against the removal of asylum seekers from Rwanda back to their home country, PM Sunak said.
