To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on issuing visas to the 17 residents of Camp Liberty, Iraq, whose admission to the UK has been agreed in principle by the Government.

It has not been possible to make further progress on issuing visas until arrangements have been made by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to transfer a large number of Camp Liberty residents out of Iraq to
Albania. It is understood from the London office of the UNHCR that the move of some 240 Camp residents, including the 17 we have already agreed in principle to re-admit to the United Kingdom, was completed on 24 November.
