Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what discussions she has had with the First and Deputy First Ministers of Northern Ireland on accepting refugees from UN camps in countries bordering Syria; and if she will make a statement.
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.
