    The Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for Home Affairs Home Office 2 Marsham Street London SW1P 4DF 15 March 2019 Dear Home Secretary, Refugees (Family Reunion) (No. 2) Bill 2017-19 Almost a year ago, MPs from across the political spectrum united behind a common cause as they overwhelmingly voted to introduce a law that would help reunite refugee families. The current rules condemn child refugees, fleeing conflict and persecution, to live in the UK without their parents. It also prevents parents from bringing their children over the age of 18. At a time when refugees need their families the most, they are being forced to be without them indefinitely. They say a week is a long time in politics, but a year is a long time to wait. For refugee families it means a year of missed birthdays, Christmases, Mother’s Days, Father’s Day and Eids. We cannot let the urgent crowd out the important. We urge you to use your power to stop the delays on this Bill and allow it the necessary time to proceed and be debated. With your help we can bring families together. Yours sincerely, The Rt Hon Diane Abbott Dr Stella Creasy MP Mr Roger Godsiff MP MP Mr Martyn Day MP Mr Patrick Grady MP Ms Mhairi Black MP Mr Stephen Doughty MP Mr Neil Gray MP The Rt Hon Ian Blackford Dr David Drew MP Ms Margaret Greenwood MP MP Ms Rosie Duffield MP Ms Deidre Brock MP Ms Helen Hayes MP Mr Jonathan Edwards MP Mr Alan Brown MP Mr Drew Hendry MP Ms Vicky Foxcroft MP Ms Ruth Cadbury MP Ms Liz Kendall MP Ms Gill Furniss MP The Rt Hon Alistair Mr Afzal Khan MP Carmichael MP Mr Hugh Gaffney MP The Rt Hon David Lammy Mr Douglas Chapman MP Ms Ruth George MP MP Ms Joanna Cherry QC MP Mr Stephen Gethins MP Mr Chris Law MP Mr Ronnie Cowan MP Ms Patricia Gibson MP Ms Karen Lee MP Mr Neil Coyle MP Ms Preet Kaur Gill MP Mr David Linden MP Ms Angela Crawley MP Mr Angus MacNeil MP CC - The Rt Hon Andrea Leadsom MP - Leader of Mr Sandy Martin MP the House of Commons Mr Steve McCabe MP Ms Rebecca Harris MP - Ms Kerry McCarthy MP Lord Commissioner (HM Treasury) (Whip) Mr Stewart Malcolm McDonald MP Mr Stuart C.

Does that not emphasise the important nature of the private sector involvement in Oral Answers to Questions the city deal, and what is he doing to ensure that the Welsh Government and local authorities engage with the private sector so that they lever in more money?
