Written question asked by Lord Hylton (Crossbench), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord West of Spithead (Labour) on Tuesday, 10 November 2009.
Immigration: Deportation
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government whether Iraqi asylum applicants are being returned to Iraq; if so, why; and to what places.
- Answer
-
Iraqi asylum seekers who are found not to need international protection and who have no legal basis of stay in the UK are expected to leave. We prefer that they do so voluntarily but where they do not, we will seek to enforce their removal. Removal may be to any part of Iraq. Enforced removals have taken place to the Kurdish Regional Government controlled area of northern Iraq and to Baghdad.
