Two Tory Party deputy chairmen and a ministerial aide have resigned to rebel against Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill.
Deputy chairs Lee Anderson and Brendan Clarke-Smith quit to join about 60 Tory MPs backing an amendment rebels said toughened the immigration legislation.
The legislation seeks to revive the government's plan to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda and deter people from crossing the Channel in small boats.
At least four Conservative MPs - including former ministers Robert Jenrick and Suella Braverman - have publicly said they are prepared to vote against the bill if it is not improved, with reports that more could join them.
