A CABINET minister has claimed that flights deporting asylum-seekers to Rwanda could begin “within weeks,” despite being unable to confirm whether the government has found an airline willing to facilitate the racist scheme.

Speaking to Sky News today, Health Secretary Victoria Atkins claimed the Home Office was “ready to go” in implementing the plan and that it was “working on” finding a carrier. 

The so-called Safety of Rwanda Bill, which aims to prevent legal challenges to the deportations, is due to return to the Commons this week.
