Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether a minimum time interval applies between an individual being issued with a Notice of Refusal by immigration officers and subsequently being removed from the UK; and whether any such timing was adhered to in the case of Miss Teresa Fay Harris.

The standard notification period is a minimum of 72 hours before removal however there is an exception for port cases where, if removal occurs within seven days of refusal, there is no need to provide 72 hours’ notice.

In relation to Miss Teresa Fay Harris we do not comment on individual cases.
