Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how long they estimate that asylum seekers will have to stay in Rwanda prior to a decision on their application.

The Migration and Economic Development Partnership between the UK and Rwanda will see those migrants travelling to the UK through illegal and dangerous methods, considered for relocation to Rwanda, where they will have their asylum claim processed. Once a person is relocated to Rwanda, their asylum claim becomes the responsibility of that country and falls under their jurisdiction. However, we expect asylum claims will be decided within a reasonable period of time.
