Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill

Moved by

Baroness Lister of Burtersett

34: After Clause 4, insert the following new Clause—

“Section 57 of the Illegal Migration Act 2023

Section 57 of the Illegal Migration Act 2023 (decisions relating to a person’s age) does not apply in relation to removals to the Republic of Rwanda.”

Member's explanatory statement

This amendment disapplies section 57 of the Illegal Migration Act 2023 in relation to removals to the Republic of Rwanda, to restore the ability of domestic courts and tribunals to fully consider suspensive judicial review claims regarding removal decisions taken on the basis of age assessments of unaccompanied children, given that the Rwanda Treaty “does not cover unaccompanied children”.
