Asylum: Rwanda

(asked on 22nd May 2023) - View Source

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what arrangements they will make with the government of Rwanda to ensure that the families of asylum seekers who are deported to that country are kept together.


This question was answered on 6th June 2023

Everyone considered for relocation to Rwanda will be screened and have access to legal advice. Decisions will be taken on a case-by-case basis and nobody will be removed if it is unsafe or inappropriate for them. Suitable accommodation will be provided for all those relocated to Rwanda.

We will thoroughly consider the circumstances of cases involving families with children according to our policy, statutory and international obligations. A full equality impact assessment has been published on gov.uk.

For those with family links in the UK who want to be considered for entry to the UK, they should seek to do so via legal and safe routes.
