Asylum: RAF Barnham
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the proposals to house asylum seekers at RAF Barnham, whether any asylum seekers convicted or charged with sexual offences will be housed there.
Answered by Alex Norris
Mandatory security checks are conducted on all people seeking asylum through linking their biometric data to immigration, security, and criminality databases. This includes criminality checks for, amongst other things, convictions, pending prosecutions, wanted or missing reports, as well as fingerprints and photographs. These checks are critical to the delivery of a safe and secure immigration system.
