Participation in asylum dispersal is subject to discussion and agreement with individual local authorities and there is no target level of participation - every local authority is encouraged to contribute.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 14/02/2019 17:16:22 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
