At today’s LMP Strategy group, there was a brief discussion of the Rwanda Bill, and the almost complete absence of a plan for how the new legislation will be enacted.
The following resources have been collated by NACCOM and we have shamelessly cut and pasted them here, in an attempt to fill the void that’s currently being filled with speculation. If you’re short of time, Right to Remain’s What we know about the Rwanda Act and Treaty so far article is an excellent summary
