This includes the identification of protection needs of those with specific needs and vulnerabilities and establishing the right to return to Myanmar when they can do so voluntarily, safely and with dignity. We are clear that refugee data must be protected appropriately, and we are in contact with UNHCR on the issue and will continue to monitor the situation closely.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 21/06/2021 15:24:08 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
