Question to the Home Office:

What progress the Government has made on placing vulnerable Syrian families in the UK.

We are on track to meet the Government’s commitment to resettle 20,000 refugees under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme by 2020.

Over 12,800 refugees who have fled the Syrian conflict have now been resettled since the scheme began, and they are being supported by more than 280 local authorities across the UK.
