UK IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION TO FACE KEY VOTE

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is due to face a key vote later (Weds) after a party rebellion over legislation designed to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda.

On Tuesday dozens of his own MPs rebelled in the House of Commons, backing amendments designed to toughen the bill.

On Wednesday a vote is due on the overall legislation.

If the Prime Minister were defeated it would be a huge blow to his premiership.

Illegal migration minister Michael Tomlinson says that won't happen.

IN: 'The bill...
OUT: ...Rwanda.'
DUR: 20 seconds
