Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the time taken was for each emergency travel document application to be secured for a person in immigration detention in 2018.

The information requested is not in a reportable format and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

The Home Office continues to work closely with diplomatic missions in the United Kingdom and representatives of receiving countries for the timely issuing of travel documentation to support the return of their nationals. Travel document applications are dependent on the receiving country and take a range of time to complete for reasons outside of our control
