Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she would consider providing additional funding to Migration Yorkshire and other authority-leg regional migration partnerships to help support local authorities and the community and voluntary support sector to settle refugees in the UK.

Home Office funding for the 2022/23 Strategic Migration Partnership (SMP) Grant Agreements has been confirmed and shared with SMP regional leads. This includes a 4.2% uplift across Asylum Dispersal, Resettlement, Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC) and English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) compared to the previous year.

The Home Office has already committed to a full review of the SMP Grant Agreement deliverables and funding during 2022/23.
