The two last remaining migrants who are detained and waiting to be sent to Rwanda will be bailed in the coming days, the government has said.
The home secretary’s spokesperson also revealed that a further 218 migrants were released on bail from detention centres by the previous government during the election campaign.
They were due to be deported to the east-central African country as part of previous PM Rishi Sunak’s policy to tackle illegal immigration.
On his first full day as prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer confirmed the Rwanda deportation scheme is “dead and buried”.
