Asylum: Rwanda
Asked by: Lord German (Liberal Democrat - Life peer) Tuesday 21st May 2024 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government, following their press release on 1 May stating that individuals are to be detained for removal to Rwanda in the next nine to 11 weeks, how many such individuals they anticipate will be granted immigration bail in the interim. Answered by Lord Sharpe of Epsom - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office) As all detention decisions are particular to the individual concerned it would be inappropriate to predict the extent of any related future activity. The government has repeatedly stated that it will not be providing a running commentary on the removals process. |
