Refugees: Palestinians
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the need for a resettlement scheme to support Palestinian refugees seeking asylum in the UK.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The UK has a long history of providing protection through various resettlement routes to supporting the most vulnerable people in the world.
We keep all existing pathways under review and we are closely monitoring the events in Gaza,
Palestinians who wish to settle in the UK can do so via the existing routes available which allow a person to apply to work, study, settle or join family in the UK. Further information can be found on the GOV.UK website: Visas and immigration - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
