ALMOST all of Scotland’s Tory MPs voted to reject the House of Lords’ amendments to Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda legislation – including calls to exempt victims of modern slavery from the scheme.
The legislation will only receive royal assent and become law once both Houses have agreed on its final wording in a process known as parliamentary ping-pong.Among the amendments overturned by MPs on Monday were proposals to ensure the bill has “due regard” for domestic and international law and that Rwanda is only regarded as safe for as long as the provisions of the UK’s treaty with that country are in place.
The latest crossings took the provisional total for the year so far to 6265 – 28% higher than this time last year and 7% higher than the 5828 recorded at this point in 2022.
