Could the Chief Minister update the Assembly on what progress, if any, has been made during discussions with the U.K. Government on Jersey's ability to accept refugee families? Could he further inform the Assembly when he believes those discussions will be concluded and the full details announced to the public?

Officials in the Chief Minister's Department and the Home Affairs Department are still in discussions with the UK Government, as well as Guernsey. We are not in a position to confirm when those discussions will be concluded, but we will provide an update as soon as we are able to.
