Cleverly says it is possible to stop the boats but ‘no silver bullet solutions’
James Cleverly has said “it is possible” to stop boats from crossing the Channel but that it is “nonsense” to speculate on how many people would have to be sent to Rwanda to achieve that.
The Home Secretary also stressed the Rwanda asylum scheme is not the centre of the Government’s plan to prevent migrants from making the journey, noting there are “no silver bullet solutions” to tackling illegal immigration.
He also defended the UK’s “grown-up commercial relationship” with Kigali, saying he finds “lazy criticism” of the east nation “really distasteful”.
