He insisted: 'Maybe erstwhile I volition spell to Rwanda again - it's difficult. I volition travel again. I volition support on, the struggle.' 

Another, named arsenic James, said: 'My neighbouring state is Rwanda, truthful if I knew Rwanda was a harmless state past I would've gone determination due to the fact that they're my neighbours.

'Because I cognize that Rwanda tin ne'er beryllium harmless for me, that's wherefore I hazard myself to travel done oversea and that's wherefore I'm here.'

A third, dubbed Richard by the BBC, said: 'I effort my accidental - if I was harmless oregon not, if I spell to Rwanda oregon Africa, it's nary substance to me. But archetypal I privation to spell to the UK - it's important.' 

The corp quoted 1 arsenic calling the Rwanda proposals 'inhumane' and saying helium would consciousness suicidal if sent to Rwanda, having been travelling for 3 years hoping to scope Britain.

'That's however we nonstop a connection to the people-smuggling gangs, to those who are seeking to travel present illegally, that they won't get a beingness successful the UK by doing so.

'I bash support Rwanda is simply a harmless country. The rule of the strategy is thing I enactment - I bash judge by getting regular flights disconnected to Rwanda we volition halt the boats.

'So I bash hold with the rule - what I disagree with is however the government, this government, is going astir delivering that scheme.'

She besides reiterated her telephone for Britain to retreat from the European Court of Human Rights which she blamed for blocking erstwhile Rwanda flights.

'I judge present the lone mode to really guarantee that flights tin spell off, boats tin beryllium stopped and we tin really instrumentality backmost power of our borders and laws is to permission the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights.

'We saw successful June 2022 however the European Court of Human Rights successful Strasbourg intervened to artifact the flights from taking off.

'So I don't deliberation this amendment is necessary, determination is already a harmless and ineligible way for Afghan interpreters and others who served the Army.'

Mr Mitchell said helium hoped the Lords would 'accept the volition of the elected House present and fto the Bill proceed' arsenic 'that is what the British radical want'.

If MPs region those amendments tonight, they would nonstop the measure instantly backmost to the Upper House - and proceed to beryllium until peers accept.

If peers walk the aforesaid amendment twice, the Commons faces the prime of either accepting the alteration oregon losing the measure nether a rarely-used process known arsenic 'double insistence'.

'So our volition present is to get this done connected Monday - nary much prevarication, nary much delay. We volition beryllium determination and ballot until it's done.

'We're going to get this Bill passed, and past we volition enactment to get flights disconnected truthful we tin physique that deterrent, due to the fact that that is the lone mode to resoluteness this issue. If you attraction astir stopping the boats, you've got to person a deterrent.'
