Rwanda bill rebels – full list of Tories who voted to toughen up plans

Published

Rishi Sunak has been dealt a fresh blow to his authority after a raft of Tory rebels voted for amendments to his flagship Rwanda policy.

A total of 60 Tories voted in favour of changes proposed by Conservative veteran Sir Bill Cash.

However, the amendment, seeking to ensure UK and international law cannot be used to block a person being removed to Rwanda, was rejected by a majority of 461.

MPs also voted on an amendment from former immigration Robert Jenrick, which sought to make it more difficult for individuals to make claims against their deportation.

But the Commons again rejected it by 525 votes to 61 votes, among them 59 Tories – including tellers.

The rebellion gives an indication of the scale of unease within the Conservative Party during an election year.
