To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will extend the scope of the refugee family reunion rules in response to the current crisis.

Richard Harrington

Our refugee family reunion policy is intended to allow immediate family members, that is, spouse or partner and children under the age of 18, who formed part of the family unit at the time their sponsor fled, to rebuild their lives in the UK. We have no plans to widen the family reunion criteria. But under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme we are working closely with the UNHCR to resettle close family groups where at least one member qualifies under the scheme.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what assessment his Department has made of the relationship between poverty in childhood and (a) ill-health and (b) use in adulthood of the NHS.

Jane Ellison

We want all children to have the healthiest start possible in life, and particularly the poorest children. We have strengthened support for mothers, babies and children by increasing the number of Health Visitors and more than doubling the number of places on the Family Nurse Partnership programme. Health is now a theme of the new Troubled Families Programme, to improve the physical and mental health of the adults and children in these families.
