Proceeding contribution from Lord Bassam of Brighton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 May 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Integration Loans for Refugees and Others Regulations 2007.
Integration Loans for Refugees and Others Regulations 2007
The answer to that is simple. The Department for Work and Pensions will have the primary responsibility for payment and collection through the usual processes of claim and assessment. The department responsible for making decisions about asylum status and the humanitarian position of those who have made such applications has to be the Home Office. We would not want that responsibility to migrate to the DWP; that would be quite wrong. One department deals with decisions about the status of the individual, while the other, quite properly because of its experience, will deal with matters relating to applications to the loan scheme. On Question, Motion agreed to.
