§ Ms Oona KingTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration he has given to the future status of Montserration evacuees in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement. [43586]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienWe have decided that Montserration evacuees in the United Kingdom should be allowed to remain here indefinitely if they wish. This offer will also apply to Montserratians still on the island and those who moved elsewhere in the Caribbean because of volcanic activity, should they wish to come to the United Kingdom.
