UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's government has won the backing of the House of Commons for his controversial plan to send migrants to Rwanda.
The government fended off right-wing Conservative rebels to win the final vote on the legislation by 320 votes to 276.
The 11 Tory MPs who rebelled included former home secretary Suella Braverman and former Minister of State for Immigration Robert Jenrick.
More than 60 Tory MPs had earlier supported an amendment designed to toughen the draft law.
They voted for a proposal designed to allow UK ministers to ignore emergency injunctions by European judges attempting to stop asylum seeker deportation flights to east Africa from taking off.
But Downing Street went into the third reading vote knowing it had seen off a potentially damaging defeat after the majority of rebels signalled they would back it even without any amendments being accepted.
The bill will now transfer to the upper chamber House of Lords, where it is expected to face serious opposition.
Mr Sunak also faced down rebels during the first vote on the bill in December.
Around 30,000 asylum seekers crossed the English Channel on rudimentary vessels last year. Five died trying to make the journey last weekend.
Hundreds were picked up from the freezing waters and brought ashore today, according to an AFP photographer in the south coast port of Dover.
