Priti Patel said on Wednesday that European judges had not imposed an “absolute bar” on migrants being deported by the Government to Rwanda as she vowed to press ahead with a second flight after the first one was grounded following legal rulings.
The Home Secretary told MPs that the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg had not ruled that the policy was illegal but it had “prohibited” the removal of three of the small number of people who were due to be deported.
