Rwanda asylum plan: Fact-checking claims about the government's policies
By Anthony Reuben, Tamara Kovacevic and Lucy GilderBBC Verify
The government has been defending its approach to asylum after its plan to send Some asylum Seekers to Rwanda was ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court .
We've looked at Some of the claims made by the Prime Minister - and by Labour - during The Day .
'The Number of crossings is down by a Third ' - Rishi SunakThe Prime Minister was talking about small boat crossings at Prime Minister 's questions.
He's made " stopping the boats" one of his five key pledges in government, which.
As at 13 November, 27,284 people had been detected crossing the English Channel in 2023,
At the same point in 2022, almost 42,000 people had been detected, so The Number crossing is indeed down by a Third .
'[Labour's plan is] a cosy deal with the EU, which would see the UK accept 100,000 illegal Migrants ' - Rishi SunakRishi Sunak criticised the Labour leader's plan to stop small boats coming to the UK.
Keir Starmer has negotiate a returns agreement with EU countries to send back Some failed asylum Seekers - if Labour wins power.
Mr Sunak's claim is based on an assumption that Labour would have to take 13% of all asylum Seekers arriving in the EU as part of such an agreement.
The Conservatives have said this is because the EU has a policy of sharing asylum Seekers between countries based on population size. They say this would mean the UK Taking Over 100,000 of them a Year .
But although the EU has been discussing for years How To share responsibility for refugees, no deal based on population is in place.
Labour has said it would not - and could not - Sign up to an EU quota Scheme because the UK is not a member state, so any agreement would have to be outside that.
'The government has never succeeded in actually getting a successor to what was known as the Dublin Iii agreement, which meant that people here with no right to be here could then be removed' - Nick Thomas-SymondsMr Thomas-Symonds - a Labour MP - was speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live after the Supreme Court 's judgement.
He was referring to an EU Scheme - Dublin Iii - which allows member states to return failed asylum Seekers to other EU countries, taking into consideration factors such as Family Reunion and irregular entry.
The Scheme ended in the UK after Brexit in January 2021.
But shows the numbers involved were pretty small and actually more people ended up coming to the UK under this Scheme than were removed in The Final Six Years it was operating in the UK.
From 2015 to end of 2020, 3,961 people were transferred to the UK and only 1,763 were removed under the Scheme .
'Some 20,000 people have been returned this Year ' - Rishi SunakThe Prime Minister was talking about The Number of people that have been returned to other countries from the UK.
Mr Sunak did not make clear what type of return he was referring to, but The Combination of voluntary and enforced returns this Year does add up to about 20,000.
The shows that 5,095 people were forcibly removed from the UK between January and October 2023. A further 15,204 left the country voluntarily in the same period.
About a fifth of the 20,299 people returned So Far in 2023 were Albanians.
Not all of the 20,000 people returned were failed asylum Seekers - Some of them were foreign national offenders.
