Asked by Carla LockhartDemocratic Unionist PartyHome OfficeTabled Answered 3 July 2025UIN 63061

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will list her Department's integration schemes available for asylum seekers in Upper Bann constituency.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

There are no integration schemes for asylum seekers as integration support is only available once refugee status is granted. As Integration is an area of devolved competence, integration support available to refugees in Northern Ireland is determined by the Northern Ireland Assembly.
