Home secretary confirms government considering fitting some migrants with electronic tags
Speaking to Mishal Husain on Radio 4’s Today programme, Braverman said: “If we are thwarted by the courts, or indeed by Strasbourg, then we will have to do whatever it takes, ultimately, to ensure that we can stop the boats.”
Asked what the government’s position was, she said: “We’re very clear that the [Rwanda] scheme complies with our international obligations, and that there’s a path to stopping the boats, which is in conformity with the international regime. If we’re thwarted in the courts, there must be no stone left unturned.”
Pressed on whether that meant leaving the convention, Braverman said: “We’re not thinking about that.”
