Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government which local authorities have agreed to accept Syrian and other refugees.

Local authorities from across the UK participate in the four resettlement programmes which the UK operates. These run on a voluntary basis, and we do not disclose which are involved as resettlement can be a sensitive issue. Providing this information without their consent could deter other local authorities from participating in future.

It is at the discretion of Local Authorities to disclose whether or not they are involved with the Syrian Resettlement programme.
