Written question asked by Alison Thewliss (Scottish National Party) on Thursday, 16 May 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 20 May 2024. It was answered by Michael Tomlinson (Conservative) on Tuesday, 21 May 2024 on behalf of the Home Office.


Deportation: Rwanda

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of people who have been served with notices of intent for removal to Rwanda are (a) women and (b) unaccompanied children.

Answer

The Home Office does not routinely publish data on the gender or age of those issued with a notice of intent.

The UK-Rwanda Treaty makes clear at Article 3 that the agreement reached between the governments of Rwanda and the UK does not cover unaccompanied children and that the UK Government shall not seek to relocate unaccompanied children under the age of 18.
