On 11 September, I attended the first meeting of the Working Group on Syrian refugees at the Home Office. The Northern Ireland Office will work with the Northern Ireland Executive to ensure that Northern Ireland plays its part in meeting the Government’s aim of resettling vulnerable refugees from Syria and the region.
