Rwanda Bill passed in House of Lords after late-night debate

Rishi Sunak’s Rwanda Bill finally cleared Parliament early on Tuesday morning after eight hours of debate as MPs and peers sat through the night to pass the flagship legislation. The Prime Minister is now significantly closer to the first deportation flight taking off following weeks of back and forth between the two Houses. Mr Sunak had ordered parliamentarians to “sit there tonight and vote no matter how late it goes” in advance of a fourth round of ‘ping pong’ between the Commons and the Lords. #sunak #rwanda #immigration
