Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of his Department's arrangements with local authorities for the settlement of asylum seekers.
Answered by James Brokenshire
The Home Office maintains an active partnership with local governments across the UK and funds Strategic Migration Partnerships to plan for the most appropriate voluntary agreements for the dispersal of asylum seekers, and the integration of Syrian refugees.
We continue to work closely with a wide range of local authorities to increase the number of areas that accommodate and support people seeking asylum and protection – every local authority is encouraged to contribute to ensure a reasonable spread across the whole of the UK.
