Oral answer to question provided on Monday, 21 January 2008 in the House of Lords, by Lord West of Spithead (Labour).


Refugees: Loans

Answer

My Lords, the value of loans paid out under the integration loan scheme for refugees and others from 11 June, when the scheme was launched, to 31 December 2007, is £134,000. Loan payment and recovery is undertaken by the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of the Home Office and the usual DWP enforcement procedures will apply where there is no compelling reason why loan repayments cannot be made.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Monday, 21 January 2008 by Lord James of Blackheath (Conservative).
