Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people have been resettled in the UK under the Syrian Vulnerable Person Resettlement Programme to date; and how much that Programme has cost to date.

The Home Office is committed to publishing data in an orderly way as part of the regular quarterly Immigration Statistics, in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics. Latest statistics published on 24 May confirmed that a total of 11,649 people have been resettled under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) since it began.

The statistics are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release

At 31 December 2017, VPRS expenditure of £157.5m had been recorded.
