The legislation, promised as part of UK Government efforts to tackle illegal migration, could come as soon as Tuesday.
BRITISH PRIME MINISTER Rishi Sunak has vowed to put an end to the “immoral” illegal migration trade as the UK Government prepares to unveil new powers to crack down on small-boat crossings in the Channel.
It would see a duty placed on the Home Secretary to remove “as soon as reasonably practicable” anyone who arrives on a small boat to Rwanda or a “safe third country”. “I am determined to deliver on my promise to stop the boats. So make no mistake, if you come here illegally, you will not to be able to stay.”Braverman told the paper: “Enough is enough. The British people want this solved.“That’s why myself and the Prime Minister have been working flat out to bring forward necessary and effective laws which will tackle this problem, once and for all.Advertisement
The Rwanda scheme too has been mired in legal challenges, and so far no flights carrying migrants to the Rwandan capital Kigali have departed.Sunak has been under considerable pressure from his own backbenches to tackle illegal migration.Critics expressed concern at the plans. “Again and again, we hear from people that they have no prior knowledge of the UK’s asylum system, so making it harsher is not an effective strategy,” she said.
