HL Deb 03 December 1996 vol 576 c48WA
Viscount Exmouth

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the cost of repatriation of unsuccessful applicants for asylum and of those who have illegally entered the United Kingdom is charged, for each case, to the Embassy of the country concerned.

Baroness Blatch

There is no legal provision to charge other governments for immigration removals in this way.
