Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on bringing vulnerable refugee children to the UK.

In 2016, we transferred over 900 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children to the UK from Europe. More children will be transferred under the Immigration Act and we will continue to meet our obligations under the Dublin Regulation.

Outside of Europe, approximately half of the 4,400 Syrians resettled under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement scheme are children, and we will resettle up to 3,000 vulnerable children and their families to the UK by the end of this Parliament.
