§ Mr. CoxTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many people allowed into the UK from the Sangatte refugee camp have found(a) employment and (b) housing; and if he will make a statement. [97534]
§ Beverley HughesI have been asked to reply.
All those admitted from Sangatte were offered temporary accommodation, provided by the Home Office, on their arrival in the United Kingdom. Jobcentre Plus officials have made assessments of their 262W skills and are referring them to job opportunities. Home Office officials are working closely with local authorities to advise on longer-term accommodation.
