Undocumented Migrants: Age and Deportation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance is available to immigration staff for dealing with irregular migrants found to have given false information about their age; and if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of deporting those migrants.

Answer

If there is a discrepancy between the information someone provides at any stage in the asylum process, and any related facts subsequently established, this will be taken into account alongside any other underlying factors when assessing their credibility in line with section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of Claimants) Act 2004 and the relevant policy guidance.
