Paragraph 1:
Rishi Sunak’s plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda has been granted approval following prolonged debates. Parliamentarians engaged in extensive voting sessions on the asylum legislation on Monday, resulting in the retention of just one amendment. However, during the second round of voting, Lords retracted the amendment, acknowledging the authority of the elected House of Commons.
Paragraph 2:
The amendment sought to mandate an independent monitoring committee to verify Rwanda’s safety before sending asylum seekers there. Additionally, a second amendment advocating for the exemption of Afghans who served with British forces was also withdrawn on Monday night. Lords claimed to have secured a concession from the government on this issue.
