Suella Braverman has ruled out introducing a safe and legal route for asylum seekers in Sudan to seek refuge in the UK.
Earlier, Rishi Sunak refused to commit to such a route when pressed by the SNP’s Westminster leader Stephen Flynn during PMQs.
Asked whether the UK was going to “start looking at safe routes for refugees from Sudan”, Ms Braverman replied: “We have no plans to do that.
“Our focus, first and foremost, right now, and bearing in mind this is a fast-moving situation and a complex situation, is to support British nationals and their dependents.”
