Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 24 March (HL15469), whether the Home Office has commissioned a second external peer review of the National Centre for Social Research evaluation of the pilot move on period for newly recognised refugees; and if so, when they expect that peer review to be completed.

The independent evaluation led by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) has undergone external peer review as part of the publication process, including the requirement for two satisfactory external peer reviews.

Publication is expected in Spring 2026, subject to Ministerial clearance.
