Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what Ministerial (a) involvement, (b) agreement and (c) direction there was in the setting of removal targets in (i) 2014-15 and (ii) 2015-16.
My Department’s approach is set out in Sir Philip Rutnam’s letter to the Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP, dated 14 May 2018 that I deposited in the House Library.
