Asylum: Iraq
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether (a) south and central Iraq, (b) northern Iraq and (c) the area controlled by the Kurdistan Regional Government within Iraq are presently regarded as safe places to which forced removals from the UK can take place; and whether it is his policy to remove to northern Iraq Iraqi citizens whose original residence was in the south and centre.
- Answer
-
We closely monitor developments in Iraq, and will take decisions on a case-by-case basis in light of the most current situation. Returns will only be undertaken where we are satisfied the individual has no protection needs. During this early stage of the programme of enforced returns on charter flights, we are removing those individuals who are from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) area of Iraq.
