The House of Lords’ Amendment to the Rwanda bill will be debated at 4.15 in the House of Commons today.

An urgent question on the Sudan will take place at 3.30pm, pushing back the debate on the Rwanda bill.

In the press conference at 10:30 today, Sunak blamed Labour for holding up the progress of the bill.

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: “The Tories are the largest party in both Houses of Parliament and they could have scheduled the final stages of the bill a month ago but they voluntarily delayed it because they always want someone else to blame.”
