through Strategic Migration Partnerships, on a regular basis to assess the effectiveness
of asy-lum dispersal and discuss issues such as local cohesion. In addition, accommodation
Providers must consult on every property that is to be used for asylum dispersal with
Local Authorities who will assess its viability in relation to social cohesion, as
well as a number of other factors</del></p><p><del class="ministerial">A governance
structure has been established to facilitate a joint review into asylum dispersal
which will be co-designed and co-produced by Local Au-thorities and the Home Office</del>.</p><p>
</p><p><ins class="ministerial">The Home Office record the number of all individuals
referred to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) and this information is published
Quarterly by the National Crime Agency. This information does not distinguish an individ-ual’s
immigration status. The reason for this is two-fold, firstly because the NRM is not
an immigration route by which individuals should regularise their stay in the United
Kingdom and, secondly, because a person’s immigration status is not permanent and
can change. <p><ins class="ministerial">Providing the information requested would
therefore require a manual check of individual records which could only be done at
disproportionate cost.</ins></p></ins></p>
