answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>Individuals who have no right to remain in the UK legally are being offered voluntary relocation to Rwanda under a new agreement with the Government of Rwanda.

We can also now facilitate relocation to Rwanda, providing an alternative for those whose country of origin is unsafe or those who would prefer not to return, but have no right to remain in the UK.</p><p>Under this Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Rwanda, individuals relocated voluntarily will have the same package of support for up to five years and access to integration programmes, so that they can study, undertake training, and work. Actual spend of the policy will be reported as part of the annual Home Office Reports and Accounts in the usual way.</p> answering member constituency Mid Dorset and North Poole answering member printed Michael Tomlinson question first answered 13/05/2024 15:43:54 answering member 4497 label Biography information for Michael Tomlinson
