Decisions will be taken on a case-by-case basis, and nobody will be relocated if it is unsafe or inappropriate for them.</p><p>Everyone considered for relocation will be screened and have access to legal advice.</p><p>We have published our Inadmissibility guidance on GOV.UK to make clearer provisions for removals to a safe third country under a model like the MEDP Partnership.</p><p>Those with family links in the UK, who want to be considered for entry to the UK, should seek to do so via safe and legal routes. Nobody needs to put their lives into the hands of criminal people smuggling gangs by making dangerous and irregular journeys. Individuals with family in the UK may still be relocated to Rwanda subject to a detailed consideration of their Article 8 rights under the Human Rights Act.</p> answering member constituency Clwyd South answering member printed Simon Baynes question first answered 15/07/2022 08:25:27 answering member 4800 label Biography information for Simon Baynes
