In the 2013/14 financial year (the most recently-completed year), on 25th June 2013, the Home Office paid the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) £189,920.25.<\/p>
This was a grant payment, relating to 25% of the agreed budget for the 2011 Gateway programme. The IOM makes all the arrangements on the United Kingdom\u2019s behalf for pre-arrival costs for the Gateway programme, and we reimburse them in line with the grant agreement. This represented the final payment for that period, which was due to the IOM, and was paid after their cost reports had been audited.<\/p>
