Immigration: Sri Lanka

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 18 November 2024UIN 13793

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of the potential impact of granting Sri Lankan Tamils on Diego Garcia the right to come to the UK.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

No such right exists, and no such right will be considered. On the specific cases of the migrants who have been located on Diego Garcia since 2022, I refer the Hon. Member to PQ 12545.
