Mr. Jim Cousins: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will establish a resettlement system for citizens of
Iraq in the United Kingdom in process of applying for asylum or leave to remain. [116252]
Beverley Hughes: We consulting united Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the International Organisation for Migration, refugee
sector non- gobernmental organisations and Iraqi communities in the United Kingdom on the type of programmes that will be
appropriate for an Iraqi Assisted Voluntary Return Programme. No decisions regarding the exact nature of the resettlement system
that might be offered has yet been made.
We are working actively to ensure that Iraqis can be assisted to return voluntarily to their homeland as soon as practicable. Many
Iraqis in the United Kingdom have skills, which will be of value to the reconstruction of Iraq. The government is committed to
helping clear the way for them to do so.
