Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will hold a refugee summit to help ensure that all relevant (a) agencies, (b) Government departments and (c) local authorities work together effectively to identify all the accommodation that could be made available for refugees.

We already work on a daily basis with local government officials and accommodation providers through our Strategic Migration Partnerships.

The purpose of this work is to increase the amount of accommodation which is available to ensure we meet our international and statutory obligations to provide accommodation for asylum seekers and refugees.
