Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth on 26 November 2018 (HL Deb, col 534), what progress they have made in examining the possibility of a round table initiative in response to the migration crisis; whether they intend to hold such a round table; if so, when; and if not, why not.

My officials have been in touch with their Home Office counterparts to explore the possibility of holding a roundtable. I will write to my Ministerial colleagues at the Home Office to determine progress.
