The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help support refugee integration.

Answered by Mike Tapp

Refugees can already access the labour market, benefits, employment support and funded English language support.

After the introduction of our asylum reforms, we will create new work and study routes for those who are receiving protection, which will provide a faster path to lifetime settlement.

And we will introduce new safe and legal routes – again, with a faster path to settlement – as we move away from unsafe and illegal routes into this country
