Liberal Party Statement – Afghan Refugees in the UK
#1
Whilst the evacuation of families and dependents from Afghanistan has now been curtailed, the Liberal Party recognises that there is now a pressing need to welcome and support those who have arrived in our nation.
 
Local communities and councils have rallied around to support many of those who have recently arrived with little in the way of possessions having been forced to flee their country. 
 
Whilst we welcome the efforts made by government the settlement program requires sustained financial support from central government to ensure proper settlement and integration. Many councils are already facing serious financial pressure in the delivery of public services.
 
Many arrivals will have pressing health and emotional issues as well as the need for education and assimilation into communities and engaging into the employment market.
 
The need for emergency housing gives the opportunity to promote a successfully deployed Liberal practice of conversion of unoccupied properties and business premises to accommodation.
