Asylum Seekers
Home Department
Damian Green (Shadow Minister (Immigration), Home Affairs; Ashford, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department which countries refuse to issue return travel documents to failed asylum seekers due for removal from the UK.
Liam Byrne (Minister of State (Immigration, Citizenship and Nationality), Home Office; Birmingham, Hodge Hill, Labour)
The Home Office does not disclose the immigration status of immigration offenders when applying for return travel documents to foreign Governments. I am therefore unable to indicate whether any countries might refuse to issue documents on these grounds.
