It is not clear when the government will be able to get the legislation through parliament, despite the prime minister saying he wanted to get planes in the air in the spring.
A government bill centred on deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda has been sent back to MPs after peers rejected it.

In the upper chamber, the government lost seven votes by margins of around 50. The last time peers voted on amendments, the government lost by around 100 votes.
