Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government who will select the refugees coming to the UK as part of the Government's pledge to welcome 20,000 refugees by May 2020.
This question was answered on 12th December 2016
The UK sets the criteria and then United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) identifies and submits potential cases for our consideration. Cases are screened and considered on the papers and we retain the right to reject on security, war crimes or other grounds.
