It's being reported the UK Government considered using Iraq to process asylum seekers - similar to the Rwanda scheme.
This move could have seen people sent from the UK to a country the Government advises against travel to.
UK correspondent Gavin Grey says Iraq was willing to move forward without a formal or public agreement, according to leaked documents.
