What support do you provide for refugees who are not from Ukraine or Afghanistan, and what efforts do you make to ensure that their needs are understood and addressed?

I am committed to working with all London boroughs and civil society to help meet the needs of all refugees. Through the London Strategic Migration Partnership (LSMP), my officers convene the Migrant and Refugee Advisory Panel, to ensure expert voices of refugee community groups are central to our approach.

Working with London Councils and boroughs, the LSMP has proposed a new approach to Government. This emphasises focus on the wider experiences and needs of all refugee and asylum populations, beyond just housing.

In addition, through my Asylum Welcome Programme, officers are working to support boroughs design services that better address the needs of all people seeking asylum.

I am proud that London has committed to welcoming refugees through resettlement schemes but am acutely aware that the multiple Government schemes create different tiers of support. I continue to call for a fairer and more consistent approach that serves refugees of all nationalities.
