It is not possible to identify irregular migrants within this information. Neither would it be possible to provide information on the actual cost of these therapy sessions, as this information is not held at this level of granularity.</p> answering member constituency Aberafan Maesteg answering member printed Stephen Kinnock question first answered 13/12/2024 10:01:43 answering member 4359 label Biography information for Stephen Kinnock

He also outlined the suspension of programme support to the Georgian government as a result of the crackdown. In my 3 December statement, I made clear our support for the Georgian people's European future, and I condemned the excessive force used against protesters and journalists. Protesters in Georgia are making clear their opposition to Georgian Dream's decision to stall the country's progress towards EU membership, directly undermining the Georgian Constitution. We are in regular contact with international partners regarding the situation. I continue to call on the Georgian authorities to listen, de-escalate, and reverse this harmful trajectory away from European values.</p> answering member constituency Cardiff South and Penarth answering member printed Stephen Doughty question first answered 13/12/2024 11:00:28 answering member 4264 label Biography information for Stephen Doughty
