Jessica Treves, Assistant Director & Advocacy Lead talking to David Simmonds, Conservative MP for Ruislip, Northwood & Pinner Constituency
We’ve been fortunate enough to interview David Simmonds about refugee resettlement in the UK. Mr Simmonds has been a Member of Parliament for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner since 2019. Mr Simmonds is particularly recognised for his work with refugee children. He introduced the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme (VPRS) with former Home Secretary Theresa May. Mr Simmonds pushed for the resettlement of 20,000 Syrian refugees in the UK.
We spoke to Mr Simmonds about his visit to the Calais refugee camp, the future of refugee resettlement in Europe, and his work with refugee children. We are incredibly grateful for his time.
