FLIGHTS taking illegal migrants to Rwanda have been delayed again.

Activists were given the go-ahead for another court clash.

Despite the High Court ruling the scheme was legal, charities and individuals were told they will be allowed to appeal the decision at the Court of Appeal.

Lord Justice Lewis and Mr Justice Swift granted permission to appeal to a number of individual claimants and charity Asylum Aid.

Rishi Sunak has vowed to push ahead with the plan to send refugees who come to the UK on small boats to the landlocked African nation.

No date has been set yet for the appeal hearing, which will look at whether the plan is unfair and whether people would be safe.

Ministers say the plans will put off some of the staggering 45,000 people who crossed the Channel last year.

The Government has coughed up £120million for the deal, but flights had to be grounded last year after the European Court of Human Rights threw a spanner in the works.

Ministers also plan to fine lorry drivers £10,000 for every person they try to sneak into the UK.

Their vehicles must also meet new higher standards.

The Home Office said: “Far too many are not secured.”
