Suella Braverman has refused to confirm if flights to Rwanda will depart this summer. The Home Secretary was grilled on the Government’s record on illegal migration during TV appearances on Sunday morning.
Speaking on Sky News’ Sophy Ridge On Sunday about the scheme, she did not say when it would be going ahead. Instead she told the programme: “We are making very steady progress.
“I am not going to give a deadline as to when flights will take off.” The Government’s plan to forcibly remove migrants to the African nation is currently grounded by the courts. It was deemed lawful by the High Court, but legal challenges continue.
