Whether her Department provides funding for (a) police protection and (b) transport for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
It is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on protective security arrangements, including funding, as doing so could compromise their integrity and individuals' security.
Whether her Department has made recent progress on processing applications for (a) asylum and (b) other forms of settlement made by people from Syria.
The pause on processing asylum claims and settlement protection applications from Syrian nationals has been lifted. We are working through the outstanding cases in line with the relevant published policy guidance taking into account the latest published country policy information on Syria. Each application will be considered on its individual merits and some cases may require further consideration and evidence gathering. We will not remove anyone to their own or any country where they would face persecution or serious harm.
Which companies were contracted by her Department to develop an IT system for the Rwanda scheme; and how much was spent with each company.
The department has set out the costs of the scheme and provided further details to clarify this: Breakdown of Home Office costs associated with the MEDP with Rwanda and the Illegal Migration Act 2023 - GOV.UK.For a variety of reasons, including issues around commercial sensitivities, we do not expect to provide a further breakdown of IT-related expenditure, but as the Home Secretary has made clear, our work now is to repurpose as much of this money as possible to clear the asylum backlog and move out of hotels.
