Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many young people deemed to be adults and issued with a Notice of Intent for removal under the Rwanda scheme have subsequently been found to be children.

The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’, which can be found on gov.uk.

Data on age disputes raised can be found in table Asy_D05 of the ‘asylum and resettlement detailed datasets’, which is attached (annex A). Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates to the year ending June 2022.

The Home Office does not publish a breakdown on the number of age assessments related to inadmissibility.
