Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to continue beyond 2020-21 her Department's plan to resettle 5,000–6,000 refugees in that year.

On 17 June 2019, the former Home Secretary reaffirmed the UK’s commitment to refugee resettlement by announcing a new, global scheme, which will begin in 2020 and aims to resettle in the region of 5,000 refugees in its first year of operation. It is right that we continue to offer safe and legal routes to the UK for the most vulnerable refugees, for whom resettlement is the only durable solution. Detailed plans for resettlement in future years have not yet been confirmed.
