Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many unaccompanied refugee children have been relocated to the UK under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016; and if he will make a statement.
We remain fully committed to delivering on our commitment to relocate the specified number of 480 children under Section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016.
Over 220 children are already in the UK. We will not provide a running commentary on numbers and will publish the details once all children are in the UK.
We are working very closely with participating States and partners to deliver the scheme in line with their national laws. Relocation of children to the UK is also dependent on the availability of appropriate local authority care placements.
