Proceeding contribution from Lord Clarke of Nottingham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 March 2024. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill.


Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill

My noble friend says that it will confuse it; it is actually perfectly straightforward. If everything happens as smoothly as he says it will happen—and I hope it does, because I do not object to the safe country policy that is being pursued if we can find a safe country—the monitoring committee will presumably confirm that it has happened. Why is he resisting it, except to save the Secretary of State having to send a letter asking for the monitoring committee’s principle? Why is this amendment a threat to the Government’s stated policy?
