Out of 5,700 people identified for removal, 2,145 can be located for detention, an impact assessment says.
Thousands of asylum seekers earmarked by the Home Office for deportation to Rwanda have lost contact with the department, a Government document suggests.
There is a long-standing parliamentary convention whereby removals can be suspended until a case has been considered and a response issued to the MP. The Prime Minister said he was “not interested” in a returns deal if the European Union did not allow the UK to send back asylum seekers who had crossed the English Channel from France.
But the Irish Government has claimed the number of asylum seekers crossing from Northern Ireland is now “higher than 80%” of Ireland’s overall total due to a shift in migration patterns in recent months.The Irish Government has proposed new legislation to make it easier to send migrants to the UK, effectively reversing an Irish High Court ruling that the UK is no longer a “safe third country” for returning asylum seekers because of the Rwanda plan.
“We will obviously monitor all this very closely and continue to work with the Irish Government on these matters.”There is a “joint commitment to protect the common travel area from abuse”, he added.
