answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2020 answer text <p>Due to coronavirus (COVID-19) related restrictions and pressures, both overseas and in the UK, it is not currently possible to undertake any refugee resettlement activity.

As made clear in the answer on 21 October (HL Deb, col 1598), as an integral part of that work, the Government will conduct a review of safe and legal routes to the UK for asylum seekers, refugees and their families.</p><p>We are continuing to support Community Sponsor groups via Reset, our grant funded support organisation. This support includes virtual drop in sessions, online resources, newsletters and more tailored advice and support as required.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 16/11/2020 17:23:13 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
