Asylum: Sponsorship
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her written statement of 2 March 2026 on Asylum changes, what estimate her Department has made of the scale of a Named Community Sponsorship scheme.
Answered by Mike Tapp
In the Restoring Order and Control policy statement, the Government committed to transforming its approach to safe and legal routes. This included the creation of a named sponsorship scheme to enable community groups to sponsor refugees and displaced persons.
Work is underway to deliver the named community sponsorship route.
Further details, including the number of beneficiaries, will be set out in due course.
