UK-Rwanda Migration Partnership Signed

A series of measures will be unveiled today which will include putting the military in charge of operations in the Channel from tomorrow.

The landmark immigration deal will also see asylum seekers taken to Rwanda to have their asylum claims processed in an "offshore" facility.

The sooner we can get this delivered, the quicker the people smugglers will be out of business and the channel stops becoming a 'watery grave'.

Vulnerable people are in the hands of criminal gangs who put their lives at risk day after day in the channel.

There are safe and legal routes to come to the UK to work, to study and seek refuge.

We show every day what a generous country we are to those in need.

But people are already safe in France and we must bring an end to this criminality that unnecessarily endangers lives.

This partnership is in addition to the Nationality & Borders Bill, which will help to fix our broken asylum system.
