Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)
I will certainly make sure that the noble Baroness’s comments are reflected back to the department.
Lord Scriven (LD)
My Lords, it may have escaped the Minister’s attention that a schedule to the then Illegal Migration Bill had Rwanda down as a safe country. It also listed another 20 or so countries that the Government deemed safe through that legislation. What assessment have the Government made of those countries in the light of the Supreme Court’s judgment?
Lord Sharpe of Epsom (Con)
My Lords, the Supreme Court’s judgment was specific to Rwanda, so we should leave it at discussing Rwanda for now.
