Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will review and update her Department's country guidance on Eritrea relating to illegal exit and national service to take better account of the UN Commission of Inquiry on Human Rights in Eritrea.

We are currently reviewing our country information and guidance on Eritrea to take into account the advance version of the Report of UN Commission of Inquiry on the human rights situation in Eritrea released in early June and other recently published country information.

We will issue updated and revised guidance on both illegal exit and national service shortly.
