  • Question and Answer Session: Refugees in London (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Thank you, Chair. Good morning, panel. I address my first question to Deputy Mayor Tom Copley. The Mayor first announced in February that he had received £126 million from the Government’s Local Authority Housing Fund to provide homes for refugees and that this funding would be used to provide 600 affordable homes, mainly for Ukrainian and Afghans fleeing conflict. How many of these homes have been provided so far?

    Marina Ahmad AM: Thank you, Chair. Good morning, panel. Enver, you spoke earlier about ESOL provision. As you know, ESOL provision was cut through Government austerity by almost 60% before the devolution of the AEB. What impact has this had and should the Government dedicate additional funding to the AEB to rectify the shortfall?

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2023
    Lord Bailey of Paddington AM: Thank you, Chair. This is for Enver. Earlier on in the conversation, Enver, we talked about asylum seekers’ rights to work and the length of time and people wanted to have it shortened. You said for a length of time, but you did not give a length of time. What to you, would be workable, ideal, something around that region?
