UK's Safety of Rwanda Bill Faces Opposition in House of Lords

Archbishop of Canterbury Among Critics of Plan to Deport Migrants, Warning of Potential Constitutional Crisis

The Safety of Rwanda Bill, a major piece of legislation that would allow the UK government to deport cross-Channel migrants to Rwanda, is facing significant opposition in the House of Lords.
The bill, championed by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, has already passed the House of Commons, but its fate in the House of Lords is uncertain due to concerns about human rights and the rule of law.
Last week, the Lords voted to delay the ratification of the UK-Rwanda treaty underpinning the bill until safeguards for asylum seekers are implemented.
Prominent critics of the bill include the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, who has voiced profound concerns about the plan and its potential impact on the UK's global standing.
The bill is part of Sunak's pledge to 'stop the boats' bringing unauthorized migrants to the UK, but its passage could lead to a constitutional crisis.
