Migrant Help: Correspondence

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 3 February 2023 to Question 132405, whether Migrant Help is able to respond directly to Members if they decide it is in the best interests of constituents to do so.

Answer

All asylum seekers have access to a 24/7 Advice, Issue Reporting and Eligibility (AIRE) service provided for the Home Office by Migrant Help where they can raise any concerns regarding accommodation or support services, and they can get information about how to obtain further support.

As the data controller the Home Office are best placed to provide comprehensive responses to the requests of MPs. Should an MP approach Migrant Help directly, rather than the MPs correspondence team, Migrant Help will refer these requests to the appropriate MPs team to investigate and respond.
