Labour: Rwanda treaty is 'not the answer'

Shadow Policing Minister Alex Norris said the Rwanda treaty is "not the answer" to a problem that "requires a serious answer." The minister said the Rwanda policy would not be part of Labour's approach to small boats as it fails to tackle criminal gangs.

It comes as 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 the African nation.
