Members will debate the International Agreements Committee's report on the UK-Rwanda Treaty. In its report, the committee recommends that significant legal and practical steps need to be taken before the safeguards provided in the Rwanda Treaty can be fully implemented.

Members will also debate a motion put forward by Lord Goldsmith that the government should not approve the UK-Rwanda agreement on an asylum partnership until the protections it provides have been fully implemented, as Parliament is being asked to make a judgement that Rwanda is safe.

If the motion not to ratify the treaty is agreed to, the government would have to provide a statement to Parliament explaining its reasoning if it wishes to continue with ratification despite the motion passing.
