Rwanda scheme: George Eustice says deporting migrants is ‘right thing to do’
George Eustice has maintained that the government’s plan to send migrants to Rwanda is the “right thing to do”.
The environment secretary spoke on Monday morning (13 June), ahead of the first deportation flight which is expected to take off Tuesday.
“It’s something the government and oppositions have talked about as a potential solution for a very long time, going back some 20 years,” Mr Eustice said.
“We think it is the right thing to do in order to try to address this problem of people putting their lives at risk.”
