Rishi Sunak seucred a major Commons victory with his Rwanda Bill as Conservative rebels admitted defeat on Wednesday evening.
After a meeting of 45 MPs, a Tory rebel source said that while MPs on the Right of the party were “deeply upset” with the Government, the majority were prepared to back Mr Sunak’s legislation.
This is despite more than 60 Conservative MPs having voted in favour of amendments aimed at toughening the Bill on Tuesday night.
A Tory rebel source said: “The majority of those people who spoke in the room have decided to back the Bill at third reading. A small number of colleagues will vote ‘no’ on a point of principle."
