Asylum: Sri Lanka
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Sri Lankan nationals on Diego Garcia were excluded from transfer to the UK due to them having (a) criminal convictions and (b) allegations of criminal behaviour.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
All migrants temporarily relocated to the UK from Diego Garcia have undergone the required security checks in line with the appropriate immigration rules.
Migrants with criminal convictions, charges, or subject to ongoing investigations were not in scope for that relocation. We do not comment on individual cases.
