Ministers to hand Rwanda another £50million as soon as migrant deportation plan becomes law

Rwanda will get £50million of taxpayers money as a new law to deport migrants comes into force, despite none having yet arrived in the country, it was revealed today.

Some 534 people were detected crossing from the continent on Sunday, the highest according to provisional figures from the Home Office. Asked whether the timeline could slip in to the summer, the Prime Minister's official spokesman told reporters on Monday: 'Our commitment remains to get flights off as soon as possible, and that has not changed.

The Government will seek to strip out changes made by peers who want extra legal safeguards, including a provision to ensure 'due regard' for domestic and international law. They have all entered talks with the UK government in what it describes as a 'third-country asylum processing deal', according to The Times.

Concerns were expressed that issues with the Rwanda Bill could put potential candidates off, with Armenia for example said to be awaiting the outcome of the policy
