Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt said she blames Labour not the House of Lords for delays to the Rwanda Bill, as the parliamentary stand-off persists. Meanwhile, Labour has accused the Government of pushing back the legislation until after Easter because it is not ready to implement the scheme. The plan to send some asylum seekers on a one-way ticket to Kigali was dealt another blow when peers inflicted a further series of defeats to the draft law on Wednesday. MPs had rejected a raft of changes made to the draft legislation by the Lords earlier this week and ministers urged the unelected chamber to help get it on to the statute books, but peers have again pressed their demands for revisions. The second round of Lords amendments to the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill, which includes overturning the bid to oust the courts from the process, will be considered on April 15. If the parliamentary “ping pong” persists and the Lords make any further changes to the Bill after April 15, time has been set aside on April 17 for the Commons to consider them.
