The FDA union claims parts of the Rwanda scheme would force civil servants to act in breach of a requirement to comply with international law
The FDA union, which represents senior civil servants, has applied for a judicial review of the Government’s Rwanda scheme, arguing that any decision not to comply with an order from the European Court of Human Rights could conflict with civil servants’ duty to comply with international law. The FDA has today launched a judicial review of the Safety of Rwanda Act. We do not welcome this action, but neither are we prepared to shy away from it as we must protect the interests of our members and the integrity of the Civil Service Code.But a Number 10 spokeswoman said on Thursday that there was no such conflict and the Government did not expect legal action to prevent deportation flights taking off within the next 11 weeks.
In a letter to Home Office permanent secretary Sir Matthew Rycroft on Monday, the Cabinet Office said Parliament had legislated to leave it up to ministers whether the UK complied with injunctions from the European Court of Human Rights, known as “Rule 39 indications”.
