Rwanda plan ‘not the be all and end all’, says James Cleverly
The flagship Rwanda asylum plan is not the “be all and end all” of Government efforts to tackle illegal migration, the Home Secretary has said.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak remains under pressure to revive the policy after this month’s Supreme Court defeat, with some Tory MPs also angered by latest data on legal net migration showing a record number of arrivals last year.
James Cleverly, who replaced a sacked as Home Secretary in Mr Sunak’s reshuffle, has admitted being frustrated at the focus on the Rwanda policy.
