Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government why the UK Resettlement Scheme is not accepting new submissions from the United Nations Refugee Agency.

According to the latest data (December 2022), 2,023 refugees have been resettled through the UKRS since it began.

The government continues to prioritise those who have been referred by the UNHCR and who are already awaiting resettlement.

The numbers resettled in a particular period will depend on a range of factors including the availability of suitable accommodation and care packages in the UK. We are managing the flows based on need and in support of the wellbeing of the people and communities involved.
