We have committed to a review of safe and legal routes to the UK. We are aware that the pause in resettlement has had an impact on our resettlement partners and will continue to work with them as future plans are developed.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 22/12/2020 12:00:29 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
