§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will discuss with the International Organisation for Migration the resettlement in third countries of people trafficked for exploitation who cannot be repatriated and for whom there is no local employment, with particular reference to the United Kingdom, Bosnia and Kosovo. [HL3066]
§ Baroness Scotland of AsthalThe identification, registration and overall management of resettlement cases worldwide is conducted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). All caseloads for the UK resettlement programme are selected in consultation with the UNHCR, based on its resettlement needs handbook. The International Organisation for Migration is responsible for certain aspects of the resettlement operation, such as transportation, but has no direct involvement in the process of referring applications to the United Kingdom. Plans have already been made for filling this year's quota for the UK resettlement programme.
