Written Question
Refugees: Scotland
Thursday 30th November 2017

Asked by: Lord Bruce of Bennachie (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many refugees have been re-settled in Scotland, per council since May 2016, and from which country each of those refugees originated.

Answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford - Shadow Chief Whip (Lords)

The Home Office is committed to publishing data in an orderly way as part of the regular quarterly Immigration Statistics, in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

The statistics are available in Volume 4 of the Asylum Data Tables in the most recent Immigration Statistics quarterly publication (April-June 2017) at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release

Table ‘as_19_q’ attached shows resettlement by nationality for those resettled under each resettlement scheme. Table ‘as_20_q’ shows refugees resettled under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme broken down by receiving local authority. (see table below) We do not routinely publish resettlement data for other schemes by receiving local authority.

Table as_20_q: Refugees (and others) resettled under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement scheme, including dependants, by local authority
