uin	213920
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>Pursuant to the Minister for Modern Slavery and Organised Crime's answer of 14 July 2014: Column 494W, there are no plans at present to extend the scheme andwe will continue to work closely with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in the region to identify the exceptional cases whose needsare so profound that they need to be resettled to a country like the UK. Groups of Syrians are being brought to the UK on a regular basis under the scheme. We envisage relocating several hundred people under the scheme over the next three years and we are on course to do so. Given the scale of the crisis, we believe that humanitarian aid and ending the crisis are the most effective way to help the majority of refugees, and ease the burden on their host countries. The UK has donated £700 million to the relief effort in Syria. UK funding is helping hundreds of thousands of refugees.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 17/11/2014 16:31:53 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
