Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many children were resettled in the UK under the Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme in each quarter of (1) 2016, and (2) 2017, for which figures are available; and what were countries of origin for those children.

The Home Office publishes a regular breakdown of the nationality of refugees resettled to the UK each quarter as part of the Immigration Statistics release available on the GOV.UK website at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release.

The most recent publication contains information on the number of resettlements up to 31 September 2017 inclusive. Between July 2016, the start of the Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme, up to 31 September 2017, the UK welcomed 412 refugees under the scheme. There is no published breakdown of the number of children.
