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.

My hon. Friend makes an incredibly important point, which proves that, when the UK makes our case in international institutions such as the ECHR and others, we are listened to, our views are respected and changes are made. That is why reform of these institutions is important and is done, often because of the points that the UK makes. He is absolutely right: the legislation that supports the treaty, which is the really important element of this, will mean that we are much better able to send people who should not be in the UK to Rwanda for their asylum applications and to start a new life in a country that is increasingly well prepared humanely and effectively to home them.
