Lord Goldsmith
That this House resolves, in accordance with section 20 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010, that His Majesty’s Government should not ratify the UK-Rwanda Agreement on an Asylum Partnership until the protections it provides have been fully implemented, since Parliament is being asked to make a judgement, based on the Agreement, about whether Rwanda is safe.
Relevant document: Special attention drawn by the International Agreements Committee, 4th Report.

My Lords, I have said everything that I want to say, and I wish to test the opinion of the House.
