Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the Government’s policy on deportations.

We expect those with no legal right to be in the UK to leave voluntarily but make no apologies for enforcing their removal if necessary.

The Home Office only seeks to remove people to Zimbabwe when they have no right to remain in the UK and there are no obstacles to their safe return.

Those who have asked for protection will have had their claims carefully considered on their merits, taking into account up-to-date and reliable country information including, where relevant, the impact of the humanitarian situation.
