Immigration: Children

Lord Hylton
asked Her Majesty's Government:

What childcare provision is made during substantive asylum or immigration interviews of women with small children, or when a woman gives evidence corroborating the case of her spouse. [HL4566]

Lord Bassam of Brighton
The Home Office does not provide childcare to those attending substantive asylum or immigration interviews. We are currently considering whether childcare might be facilitated at substantive asylum interviews.
