UK-Rwanda Partnership

Debate between Mike Kane and James Cleverly

Wednesday 6th December 2023 Commons Chamber

[James Cleverly]

We are absolutely committed to maintaining peace in Northern Ireland. It is something that many people have spent their whole political lives pursuing and protecting. I assure the hon. Gentleman that we will always seek to protect the peace that so many people have worked so hard to bring.

[Mike Kane (Wythenshawe and Sale East) (Lab)]

Rwandan Foreign Affairs Minister Biruta has said tonight:

“Without lawful behaviour by the UK, Rwanda would not be able to continue with the Migration and Economic Development Partnership.”

Without lawful behaviour, Home Secretary? It is being reported in the press that the Rwandan Government are getting cold feet because this deal is too toxic for them. Is that the case?

[James Cleverly]

No.
