UK considered using Iraq to process asylum seekers in Rwanda-type deal - leaked documents
Monday, 6 May 2024 The government at one point considered using Iraq to process asylum seekers - like the Rwanda scheme - according to documents seen by Sky News.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp has argued that migration deals similar to those in Italy will not be effective as a deterrent. His comments follow official figures showing that over 800 migrants crossed the English Channel in the past week. Philp acknowledged that prevention deals could be a “constructive step,” but insisted they would not succeed without a proper deterrent, while defending the previous government's Rwanda deportation plan.
