The government announced its Rwanda policy back in April, which would see some asylum seekers who had reached the UK via small boat Channel crossings deported to the country to have their cases processed.
Diana Johnson asked how many small boat crossings he expects next year, whether anyone will be waiting more than 6 months for an asylum claims and how many will be sent to Rwanda, but the PM wouldn't set specific targets, saying the issues “can’t be solved overnight”.
The home office being potentially dragged to court over every Rwanda deportation case makes it very hard for the policy hard to work as a deterrent. He pledged last week to “abolish” the immigration backlog, to achieve something his predecessors tried and failed to.
