Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has any plans to increase Migrant Help’s access to relevant information and data from other branches of the Home Office which may assist in its efficiency.

The Home Office currently shares all relevant data with Migrant Help in order for them to carry out their contractual requirements, through a secure portal. In addition, regular contract governance forums provide a vehicle by which Migrant Help and the Home Office can make improvements to service delivery, including improvement to data sharing.

The Home Office has no plans to alter any data sharing arrangements at this time.
