Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants

The request was successful.

Dear Department for Business, Innovation and Skills,

With regard to the prospective closure of Islington Centre for Refugees and Migrants due to funding cuts apparently by your department (via Skills Funding Agency and Waltham Forest College); have you done a study into the knock on cost across various government departments (eg, stopping English courses means spending on interpreters) and councils (eg, refugees and migrants processed through a more costly route?)?
How does the cross departmental/councils knock on effect compare with the saving?
Please provide the study.

Yours faithfully,

James Cameron

Unless you want to drop them in parachutes over Gabon (That would save lives), the Islington Centre should be kept open.
