Home Office written question – answered at on 21 May 2024.
Alison Thewliss
Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Home Affairs)
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of people who have been served with notices of intent for removal to Rwanda are (a) women and (b) unaccompanied children.
Michael Tomlinson
Minister of State (Minister for Illegal Migration)
The Home Office does not routinely publish data on the gender or age of those issued with a notice of intent.
The UK-Rwanda Treaty makes clear at Article 3 that the agreement reached between the governments of Rwanda and the UK does not cover unaccompanied children and that the UK Government shall not seek to relocate unaccompanied children under the age of 18.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
