LONDON (AP) — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has pledged that the country’s first deportation flights could leave in 10-12 weeks as he promised to end the Parliamentary deadlock over the measure.

Sunak made the comments at a news conference Monday morning, making his case directly to the public after vowing last week that Parliament would remain in session until the legislation is passed. The elected House of Commons will take up the bill later in the day, followed by consideration in the House of Lords.

Sunak has said enough is enough’’ as he told reporters during a news conference that commercial charter planes are booked to carry the asylum seekers.

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is calling on the unelected House of Lords to stop blocking legislation allowing authorities to deport some asylum-seekers to Rwanda, as he seeks to make good on a campaign promise to “stop the boats” that bring migrants to U.K. illegally.
