Home Office minister Chris Philp says ‘very, very small number of vulnerable refugees’ could end up back in Britain
A “small number” of vulnerable asylum seekers sent to Rwanda from the UK under Rishi Sunak’s legislation could be readmitted to Britain if they claimed their human rights had been breached, a minister has acknowledged.
The Home Office minister Chris Philp said the Rwanda treaty signed by the home secretary, James Cleverly, had addressed all concerns raised by the UK supreme court, including that asylum seekers would not be sent from Rwanda “to some other unsafe place”.
