Julia Hartley-Brewer and Marley Morris, associate director for migration at the IPPR, discussed the government's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
Marley Morris says the Rwanda policy plans are unlikely to have a significant deterrent effect due to the scale of arrivals in the UK and the lack of clarity on what will happen to those already in the asylum backlog.
Julia Hartley-Brewer defended the plan as a necessary measure to address the ongoing migration crisis, fearing that people would otherwise disappear into the black market on their arrival into the UK.
This all comes as Rishi Sunak has acknowledged he will miss his self-imposed spring target for getting the Rwanda scheme off the ground but insisted: “We will start the flights and we will stop the boats.”
The Prime Minister said “enough is enough” and MPs and peers will sit through the night on Monday if necessary to get the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill passed.
But Mr Sunak acknowledged it will still be 10 to 12 weeks before the first plane carrying asylum seekers takes off.
