Asylum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to her written statement of 2 March 2026 on Asylum changes, what is her Department's policy on the intended scale of a Named Community Sponsorship scheme.
Answered by Alex Norris
In the Restoring Order and Control statement, published in November 2025, the Government committed to transforming its approach to safe and legal routes. This included the creation of a named sponsorship scheme and capped routes for refugee and displaced students to come to the UK to study or for work.
Work is underway to deliver the new routes. As I set out in the house on 8 June, further details of the new routes, including timeframes for delivery, will be set out in due course.
