Peers will make the Commons look once more at one of its proposals for the controversial legislation as they refuse to backdown - meaning votes could continue late into the night.
The House of Lords has pushed the government's Rwanda Bill back to the Commons again as a row continues over the controversial plan to 'stop the boats'. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak told reporters on Monday that 'enough is enough', promising the legislation would pass its final parliamentary stages this evening, 'no matter how late it goes'.
' The bill will now head to the Commons where, due to the government's majority, it is likely to be rejected by MPs - unless ministers make a further concession - before returning to the Lords later tonight. Both Houses will need to agree to the legislation before it can become law, and voting could continue into the early hours of Tuesday morning before a conclusion is reached.
