Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the Government's response to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse's report on Child Migrant Programmes, published on 1 March 2018.

We are currently carefully considering the findings and recommendations made in the Child Migration Programmes report by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) and will respond in due course.

We are aware of the age and declining health of many former child migrants, and we are committed to providing a considered response to all of the Inquiry's recommendations. The Home Office leads on the Government's response to the IICSA Interim Report.
