Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will make representations to the Kurdish regional authority (in Iraq) to accept for resettlement Kurds now living in Al Ruwaishid camp in Jordan and in other locations near the frontier. [HL1211]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(Lord Triesman)

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Amman reports that the Al Ruwaishid camp is populated by Palestinians not Kurds. Consequently, officials do not plan to make representations to the Kurdistan Regional Government in Iraq.
