James Cleverly signs new asylum treaty with Rwanda

James Cleverly has travelled to the Rwandan capital Kigali to sign a new legally binding treaty with the East African country, which the government hopes will see asylum seekers who arrive in the UK on small boats sent to Rwanda.

The home secretary said categorically at a post-signing press conference on Tuesday that the UK has not paid any more money to Rwanda in addition to the £140 million already handed over.

But he signalled that there will "inevitably" be further costs to cover the new burdens imposed on the Rwandan legal system.
