The long-running civil battle within the Conservative Party over the European Convention on Human Rights has resurfaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week, Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick was asked if the government would withdraw from the pact if its Rwanda court appeal was unsuccessful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Ultimately, we’ll do whatever is necessary to defend our borders and bring order to the asylum system,” Mr Jenrick added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Telegraph claimed that at least eight of his colleagues Cabinet Ministers support exiting the ECHR, sending a clear signal that the treaty is on the way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other ministers, however, have stated their opposition to such a move, including Chief Secretary to the Treasury John Glen, who stated this morning that he would not support such a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Law ministers Alex Chalk and Victoria Prentis are also believed to be opposed to such a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While there isn\u2019t a full list of which MPs back quitting the treaty, nearly 70 Tory MPs – many from Red Wall seats – backed leaving the ECHR in a vote on a Private Members Bill last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
