A Shropshire MP says he will not support the Government over plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Shrewsbury & Atcham Conservative Daniel Kawczynski spoke in Parliament to tell the Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, of his concerns over tensions between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“There are legitimate concerns about this country, and people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Kinshasa, claim that Rwanda is funding a terrorist organisation, the M23, which is destabilising north-east Congo and resulting in the deaths of many Congolese citizens. Responding, the Home Secretary said she stood by the proposals, but did not directly address Mr Kawczynski's concerns.
"They have a strong track record of supporting resettlement, but most importantly our partnership has been exhaustively tested in the High Court and it has been found to be lawful and compliant with international law.
