Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill

Kevin Foster Excerpts

Consideration of Lords message
Monday 22nd April 2024 Commons Chamber

[Kevin Foster (Torbay) (Con)]

The obvious reason why Rwandans are not covered by the Bill is because returning a Rwandan to Rwanda would take them to their home country, not a third country.

[Michael Tomlinson]

I am grateful to my hon. Friend, who has been closely following these proceedings not just throughout ping-pong but throughout his time in this role. He knows deeply the interplay and the interrelationship between the two countries.
