Rwanda migrants plan will have only marginal impact, admits Tory minister

Foreign Office minister Andrew Mitchell said the scheme to send migrants to Africa was not the ‘whole answer’.

The scheme has been mired in legal challenges, and so far no flights carrying migrants to the African nation have departed.

Foreign Office minister Andrew Mitchell said the scheme was not the “whole answer”.
