Peers urged to 'calm down' and allow UK Government's Rwanda Bill to pass

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Peers in the House of Lords were urged to "calm down" and allow the UK Government's Rwanda deportation legislation to progress, as MPs voted to overturn amendments.The Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill will not receive royal assent until both the House of Commons and House of Lords agree its final wording, a process known as parliamentary ping-pong.MPs returned from the Easter recess on Monday, April 15, to discuss six further changes made by peers, with the Government tabling motions to disagree with them - while also moving its own proposal in a bid to ease concerns over how the Bill operates in relation to modern slavery victims.The new Bill seeks to compel judges to regard the east African country as safe in a bid to clear the way to send asylum seekers who cross the English Channel in small boats to Rwanda.The overturned amendments included an attempt by peers to ensure the Bill has "due regard" for domestic and international law and that Rwanda is only regarded as safe for as long as the provisions of the UK's treaty with that country are in place.Peers are expected to consider the Bill again on Tuesday, April 16, and could make further changes which would prolong the parliamentary wrangling.Speaking in the Commons, Conservative MP Sir Bill Cash (Stone) said: "The real question now is, let's get this Bill done, let's get the House of Lords to calm down a bit, let us also at the same time wait for what is inevitably going to be another claim and then see what the judgment of the Supreme Court is on the wording - providing it is clear and unambiguous - of this Bill."That is all I need to say, I may come back again however if there is another insistence by the Lords on these ridiculous amendments."For
