Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to his Statement on Illegal Immigration on 15 November 2023, Official Report, column 649, whether he plans to lay the treaty with Rwanda on asylum processing before Parliament for 21 sitting days before ratification.

The treaties the Government wishes to ratify are subject to the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act (CRaG) 2010. As provided for under CRaG, Parliament has a statutory period of 21 days to scrutinise and potentially debate the treaty prior to ratification. We will set out further details in due course.
