That empowers us to detain those who arrive here illegally and thereafter to swiftly remove them to a safe country like Rwanda," she said.

"We are considering a range of options. We have a couple of thousand detention places in our existing removal capacity.
"We will be working intensively to increase that but it's clear we're exploring a range of options, all options, to ensure that we have that level of control over people so that they can flow through our systems swiftly to enable us to thereafter remove them from the United Kingdom."
