ANGRY Priti Patel has lashed out at the secret European court process which grounded the UK’s first flight of illegal migrants to Rwanda.
The Home Secretary promised a plane would leave soon, as pressure mounted for ministers to end the role judges in Strasbourg have over human rights disputes in the UK.
The Government’s top lawyer confirmed that an option to make sure the migration plan can be carried out is “on the table”.
Ms Patel said yesterday she was concerned about the “opaque nature” of the way the European Court of Human Rights decision was made out of hours.
She added: “While this decision by the Strasbourg court to intervene was disappointing and surprising given the repeated and considered judgments to the contrary in our domestic courts, we remain committed to this policy.”
She added: “These repeated legal barriers are very similar to those that we experience with all other removal flights.”
Ms Patel told MPs that voters had backed controls on immigration plus the right to secure borders, and she was “determined to deliver that.
“This Government will not be deterred from doing the right thing, we will not be put off by the inevitable legal last-minute challenges nor will we allow mobs to block removals. We will not stand idly by and let organised crime gangs, who are despicable in their nature and their conduct...treat human beings as cargo.
“We will do everything necessary to keep this country safe and we will continue our long and proud tradition of helping those in genuine need.”
