Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether (a) she, (b) Ministers in her Department and (c) officials in her Department had discussions with representatives of the UN High Commission for Refugees on the UK and Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership before its publication.

The UK Government works closely with UNHCR on a whole range of issues and as such the Home Office is in regular contact at all levels.

The UK/Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership was negotiation between two states.

Representatives from across Government have since met with the UNHCR regarding the partnership with further engagement also planned.
