answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2023 answer text <p>As set out in the Home Office’s Inadmissibility guidance, an asylum claimant may be eligible for removal to Rwanda if their claim is inadmissible under this policy and (a) that claimant’s journey to the UK can be described as having been dangerous and (b) was made on or after 1 January 2022. A dangerous journey is one able or likely to cause harm or injury. This would therefore not include those who have arrived in the UK through safe and legal routes of entry.</p><p>A case-by-case assessment will take place for every individual considered for relocation. No one will be relocated if it is unsafe for them.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 17/07/2023 15:19:48 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
