Rishi Sunak holds a press conference on Rwanda bill.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the first flight carrying asylum seekers to Rwanda will leave Britain in 10-12 weeks.

Speaking at a press conference on Monday morning (April 22), the PM said “enough is enough” as he said MPs and peers would sit through the night if necessary to get the Safety of Rwanda Bill through Parliament.

At a Downing Street press conference he blamed Labour opposition to the scheme for the delays, but vowed: “We will start the flights and we will stop the boats.”
