Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill - Commons Amendments and Reasons – in the House of Lords at 6:10 pm on 16 April 2024.
Lord Sharpe of Epsom:
Moved by Lord Sharpe of Epsom
That this House do not insist on its Amendment 10B, to which the Commons have disagreed for their Reason 10C.
10C: Because the Commons consider that it is not necessary as the only way individuals should come to the UK is through safe and legal routes.

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department
My Lords, I have already spoken to Motion F. I beg to move.
As a bill passes through Parliament, MPs and peers may suggest amendments - or changes - which they believe will improve the quality of the legislation.
Many hundreds of amendments are proposed by members to major bills as they pass through committee stage, report stage and third reading in both Houses of Parliament.
In the end only a handful of amendments will be incorporated into any bill.
The Speaker - or the chairman in the case of standing committees - has the power to select which amendments should be debated.
