UK-Rwanda Partnership

Proceeding contribution from James Cleverly (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2023. It occurred during Ministerial statement on UK-Rwanda Partnership.

I can give my right hon. Friend the reassurance that we do not envisage that this will frustrate the Bill’s intent. It is important that claimants do have recourse, if only for factual errors. We are absolutely confident that the numerous measures that Rwanda has taken mean that it is in fact a safe country for the purposes of asylum, because of the capacity building that we and others have done with its judicial system and because of its treaty commitment on non-refoulement. Therefore, we are absolutely confident that this will go forward, but it is of course right that there have to be mechanisms for individual cases.
