Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will provide an update on the progress made by her Department in restoring the Northern Ireland Strategic Migration Partnership.
In full consultation with relevant partners in Northern Ireland, the Home Office has formally ended the funded relationship with Northern Ireland Strategic Migration Partnership (SMP) which was communicated to NI SMP and other relevant partners in April of this year. The Home Office will form a new agreement with the Government Department in Northern Ireland for which funding has been agreed.
