Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the oral contribution of the Minister for Immigration of 23 January 2023 on Unaccompanied Asylum-seeking Children, Official Report, column 871, what her expected timescale is to conclude the investigation into the circumstances surrounding the murder of Thomas Roberts in Bournemouth last year; and if her Department will take steps to publish the findings of that investigation.

The Home Office is conducting an internal investigation to examine the circumstances surrounding this case. We do not routinely publish internal reports and there are no plans to do so on this occasion.
