Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment have they made of the benefits of the government of Germany’s policies for integrating approximately two million refugees since 2015; and what conclusions have they drawn from any such assessment in adapting their policies for refugee integration.

The Home Office regularly engage with our international counterparts and seek to incorporate their findings into our evidence base, and this has informed our work to date.

We have already committed £14 million for a cross-government Refugee Transitions Outcomes Fund to offer greater support to refugees with a focus on employment, housing and wider integration.

Building on this programme and other schemes available, we will develop a package of tailored support - such as language training, skills development and work placements – to help refugees build their lives in the UK.
