We are not opening UK detention centres in Rwanda. People will lead dignified and fulfilled lives there and will be free to come and go. People will not be detained in Rwanda.

While immigration is a reserved matter, we have met with counterparts in the Welsh Government regarding the New Plan for Immigration announcements and will continue to do so as part of our regular engagement with the devolved administrations.
