Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has had discussions with (a) Cabinet colleagues and (b) the Turkish Government on sending people seeking asylum in the UK from the UK to Turkey.

The UK is interested in working with multiple international partners to break the business model of people smuggling gangs and fix the broken asylum system.

We continue to pursue multiple Third Country Asylum Partnerships with those countries who are interested but we will not be drawn into speculation on which nations this includes.
