Asylum Seekers to be sent to Rwanda

It was announced by the Prime Minister today (14 April 2022) at a speech in Kent that a new plan for immigration is being implemented to help deal with the asylum issues.

The new measures announced include giving the Royal Navy operational command of the Channel operations from 15 April 2022 and a new reception centre is planned. Asylum seekers arriving in the UK will be held instead of being placed in hotels.
