I understand the return agreement is part of that but this is also about people who do not get here to return. They are intercepted before they arrive onto European territory and are brought back and held at the behest of the European Union which pays for that to happen. We look with a jaundiced eye at Britain for the proposal to send people to Rwanda but the fact is that the European Union is doing exactly the same thing in respect of what is happening in Libya and in Türkiye. I welcome whatever note the Minister can get but there are clearly issues here that we are avoiding. We should stop avoiding them.
