Asylum: Sri Lanka
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether any of the Sri Lankan asylum seekers on Diego Garcia have been excluded from travel to the UK on the grounds of (a) their criminal convictions and (b) ongoing criminal investigations.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
Migrants with criminal convictions, charges, or subject to ongoing investigations were not in scope for the recent transfer. We do not comment on individual cases.
