So, for those on ACRS and ARAP whom we have not yet brought to the UK, we will only facilitate travel where suitable accommodation can be secured ahead of arrival. This includes where individuals can be supported to arrange accommodation themselves.</p><p>We continue to work closely with local authorities as well as the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities and Ministry of Defence to source suitable accommodation, in order to be able to welcome more Afghans. <br> <br> The UK already operates a scheme which enables civil society to provide housing and provide integration support to refugees resettled to the UK. This scheme is open to refugees of all nationalities who are referred through the UK Resettlement Scheme or the ACRS, including those currently in hotels in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 26/05/2023 10:24:12 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
