Asylum: RAF Barnham
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to proposals to house asylum seekers at RAF Barnham, what steps he plans to take to help ensure the safety of women and girls in the area.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Government recognises Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) as a national priority and remains committed to reducing incidents through policing, prevention, and safeguarding measures. If the site is taken forward, the safety and security of local communities, staff and those accommodated on site would be of the utmost importance, with appropriate security arrangements developed in close engagement with local police and partners.
