Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to introduce a designated relocation scheme for Sudanese refugees.

The UK has a proud history of supporting refugees. Since 2015, we have offered a place to just under half a million men, women and children seeking safety in the UK using our global and country specific routes.

The UK continues to welcome refugees through our existing resettlement schemes which include the global UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), Community Sponsorship and the Mandate Resettlement Scheme. The UK is proud to have welcomed Sudanese nationals through both our UK Resettlement Scheme and Community Sponsorship in 2021 and 2022.

While our safe and legal routes are some of the most generous anywhere, we cannot accommodate everyone who wants to come to the UK, and we are not able to open a bespoke route for every situation. The UK has no plans to introduce a designated scheme for Sudanese refugees.
