Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce an emergency visa route for Syrian and Turkish people affected by the earthquakes with family members in the UK.

The Government has no plans to implement specific schemes for those impacted by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria to join family members in the UK. Existing visa routes for those wishing to come to the UK are available.

The UK continues to provide lifesaving and emergency support, coordinating closely with the Turkish government and United Nations in Syria to ensure our support meets the needs on the ground and that we can stay responsive to emerging needs.
