Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to authorise the transfer of any remaining Sri Lankan nationals on Diego Garcia to the UK before the eventual handover to Mauritius.

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.
