Asylum: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much funding has been provided to the Executive Office, Department for Communities, Department of Health, Department of Education, councils, charities or contractors in Northern Ireland for asylum or refugee integration since 2019.
Answered by Alex Norris
Responsibility for the integration of refugees and asylum seekers is a devolved matter. In Northern Ireland, policy and delivery in this area sit with the Northern Ireland Executive, led by the Executive Office and delivered across devolved departments, local councils and third‑sector partners.
The UK Government provides funding through multiple departments, but decisions on the allocation and use of that funding for integration purposes are matters for the Northern Ireland Executive.
