Andrew Rosindell – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Rosindell on 2015-10-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has to help Syrian refugees assimilate into British society.

Richard Harrington

The Home Office is working closely with colleagues in the Department for Communities and Local Government to plan for the integration of Syrian refugees.

We are carefully considering issues such as access to English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), how access to employment can best be supported and how to draw on the support offered from the voluntary sector, including refugee and disapora organisations as well as faith organisations.
