Everyone who returns from taking part in the conflict in Syria or Iraq will be investigated by the police to determine if they have committed criminal offences, and to ensure that they do not pose a threat to our national security.

Local authorities lead on housing decisions and it is for them to decide whether their local criteria has been met for an individual to be provided with housing. HMG has not set out conditions to be met to house individuals returning from Syria.
