Labour: Rwanda scheme not answer to tackle illegal migration

Labour’s Pat McFadden says the government’s Rwanda scheme is “not the answer” to tackle illegal migration on small boats.

The shadow chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster says, “no amount of declarations by the prime minister can change the fact they have sent more home secretaries to Rwanda than asylum seekers”.

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.
