Friends to continue to review Rwandan bill

Friends are looking carefully at the government’s bill to keep Rwanda safe for another day on Wednesday.

The government wants to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda, but the Supreme Court said they can’t do that. Now the government is trying again with a new bill.

The Lords started arguing on Monday. Some people criticized the government for acting like “dictators”.

However, Lord David Cameron, the Foreign Secretary, said it would be “incorrect” for members of the House of Lords to “block” the plan.

The new law in the UK would say that Rwanda is a safe place. It would also let government officials ignore urgent court orders so they can start sending people back to Rwanda.

The new law being discussed in Parliament is trying to stop more court cases against the one-way flights. The Supreme Court said the flights were not allowed in November, but most MPs in the Commons supported them last month.

The prime minister has made it a top priority to stop people from crossing the Channel in small boats.

On Wednesday, there will be a second day of discussions in the House of Lords about a new law. Members will go through the details of the proposed law very carefully. They have almost 100 changes to think about.

After making changes to the bill, peers will get a chance to take a final vote before sending it back to MPs for more discussion.

On Monday, Baroness Chakrabarti, a member of the Labour party, said the bill is a danger to the laws within the country and the international rules that countries follow.

Lord Howard, who used to lead the Conservative party, said that the Supreme Court’s decision was just an opinion and that the government can ignore it if needed.

Tory peer Lord Tugendhat, who is related to security minister Tom Tugendhat, said that what we are being asked to do is similar to what dictators and autocratic leaders do, not what a well-established democracy like ours should do.

Lord Alton of Liverpool said that just because a law says Rwanda is safe doesn’t mean it really is.

Calling a dog a cat doesn’t make it a cat. It’s what you think, but it’s not right.

During a visit to Scotland, Lord Cameron said that Rwanda is a safe country and has made a lot of progress in recent years. They also take good care of many refugees in Rwanda.

We have to pass this law in Parliament and send some of these flights away to show that our country won’t tolerate a lot of illegal immigration.
