Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what incentives they will provide to (1) local government, and (2) private operators, to improve the quality of provision for refugees and migrants.

The Government provides funding to enable local authorities, schools, health partners and Strategic Migration Partnerships to provide vulnerable refugees with a safe environment in which to rebuild their lives and fully integrate into society. The support that we provide includes language training, skills development and work placements to help integration into UK society.

We expect the highest standards from our asylum accommodation providers, our Asylum Accommodation and Support Services contracts (AASC) have a robust performance management system, against which providers are expected to deliver.
