Sunak has full confidence in minister named in privileges committee report
"You've heard me say that their work should not be traduced and so we've talked about this on a number of occasions. Asked if today's ruling has increased the chances of the government pulling out of the European Convention on Human Rights , the spokesperson said they were not aware of a change in position, and the focus was on the appeal to the Supreme Court.Rishi Sunak has released a statement in the last few minutes, saying he"fundamentally" disagrees with the ruling that his government's Rwanda policy is unlawful.
Ministers are pulling together data from a number of different government departments in an effort to get a"clearer picture" of the problem of children who have vanished from schools. "I think... the honourable gentleman is right on primary legislation. We are also looking at the data that different departments hold which could help us get a clearer picture now about where those children are.”
"Ministers were forced to admit this week that it will cost £169,000 to send each person to Rwanda on top of the £140m of taxpayers' money they have already spent. "They should now put that money into Labour's plan to go after the criminal gangs, clear the asylum backlog and stop dangerous boat crossings that are undermining our border security and putting lives at risk."Since the Rwanda scheme was announced last year by then-home secretary Priti Patel, it has been met with fierce debate on both sides of the argument.
An economic assessment of the Illegal Migration Bill also estimated that each person sent abroad to the east African nation, or a similar country, will save the taxpayer between £106,000 and £165,000 per person.
