Asylum: Rwanda
(asked on 6th December 2023) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of their policy to remove certain migrants to Rwanda on the Good Friday Agreement.
This question was answered on 19th December 2023
The Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill will apply in full in Northern Ireland in the same way as it does in the rest of the United Kingdom. This is explicit on the face of the Bill and will always be the case, reflecting that immigration policy is a UK-wide matter. The rights chapter of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement does not affect any clause within the Bill in any way.
