MPs have approved the Safety of Rwanda Bill at second reading by 313 votes to 269, majority 44.
That means the Prime Minister's controversial Rwanda Bill is allowed to progress to its next stage in Parliament.
MPs debated the flagship asylum deportation legislation in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, as Rishi Sunak made last-ditch efforts to persuade would-be Tory rebels to back it.
The legislation is intended to address the Supreme Court’s concerns about proposals to send some asylum seekers who cross the English Channel to Rwanda rather than allowing them to claim asylum in the UK.
