To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if her Department will publish its strategic plan for housing Syrian refugees.

Richard Harrington

This is a voluntary scheme whereby local authorities sign up to accept refugees on a voluntary basis. Housing is one element they would take into consideration before participating. We are working closely with those local authorities that have indicated they wish to be involved as well as with the Local Government Associations.
