PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Refugees (2 July 2019)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when he plans to announce additional details of the integrated programme to resettle an additional 5,000 refugees from 2020-2021.

Asked by:
Mohammad Yasin (Labour)

Answer

We continue to engage with colleagues in central government to ensure that all those we resettle are aware of, and receive, the support they are entitled to. This includes regular dialogue with DWP concerning how to support refugees, both through formal meeting structures, and informally as specific issues arise.

It is right that the UK continues to offer a safe and legal route to the UK for the most vulnerable refugees, for whom resettlement is the only durable solution. We continue to engage with international and domestic delivery partners and stakeholders as we prepare to transition to the new resettlement scheme in 2020 and work through detailed policy of the new scheme.
