Written Answers
Asylum: Syria
Asked by: Colum Eastwood (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Foyle)
Monday 12th May 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to develop new country information for Syria; and when she plans to resume processing asylum claims.

Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

As we explained at the time of announcing a pause on decision making, we have kept that pause under constant review. Without stable, objective information on which to base an accurate assessment of a claimant’s risk on return to Syria, we are unable to make robust, reliable decisions on claims for international protection. The Home Office has been gathering and assessing objective country information from a range of sources about the situation in Syria since the fall of the al-Assad regime. As soon as there is a sufficiently clear basis upon which to make determinations, asylum decision-making will recommence.

Refugees: Palestinians
Asked by: Colum Eastwood (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Foyle)
Tuesday 20th May 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of establishing a resettlement scheme for Palestinian refugees seeking to join family members resident in the UK.

Answered by Seema Malhotra - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Education) (Equalities)

I refer the Hon Member to the answer I gave on 13 March to Question 35970.
