Minister: New Rwanda deals create stronger deterrent

Home Office Minister Chris Philp has welcomed the new Rwanda deal, saying it will allow the "deterrent effect" to commence against illegal boat crossings.

Home Secretary James Cleverly travelled to Rwanda yesterday to sign the new treaty in a bid to fulfil the government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
