Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an estimate of the number of people predicted to be detained under clause 12 of the Illegal Migration Bill in (a) 2024, (b) 2025 and (c) 2026.
This question was answered on 18th April 2023
As set out in clause 1(1), the purpose of the Bill is to prevent and deter unlawful migration, and in particular migration by unsafe and illegal routes, by requiring the Home Secretary to return illegal migrants to their home country or remove them to a safe third country. An economic impact assessment will be published for the Bill in due course.
