Illegal Migration Bill suffers 20 defeats in House of Lords in fresh setback for Sunak
Mr Welby has emerged as an outspoken critic of the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda as a means to curb the trend of small boat crossings in the Channel.
"I hope the government can see that this amendment is a positive and constructive suggestion whatever I or others may feel about the bill in general," he said. However, Mr Welby was criticised during the proceedings by Tory former cabinet minister Lord Lilley, who said:"He hasn't come forward with a policy. He's coming forward with a policy to have a policy."The government also faced a rebel amendment from its own side, with Tory peer Baroness Stroud calling for more safe and legal routes for refugees."The moral credibility of the entire bill depends on the existence of the creation of more safe and legal routes," she said.
