Refugees: Resettlement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many refugees her Department plans to resettle through the UK's resettlement schemes in 2025.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
This country will always play our part, alongside others, to help those fleeing war and persecution, but we need a proper system where rules are enforced.
The UK welcomes refugees through our global resettlement schemes which include the UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS), Community Sponsorship and the Mandate Resettlement Scheme.
The numbers resettled through the UKRS depend on a range of factors including the flow of referrals from UNHCR in the field and the availability of suitable accommodation and integration support in the UK.
