We have asked authorities to think very carefully to ensure they have the infrastructure and support networks needed to deliver the appropriate care and integration of these refugees they plan to resettle. The number of people resettled in a particular period will depend on a range of factors. This includes the number of referrals we have received from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the number of confirmed places we have received from local authorities that are suitable for the specific needs of those who have been accepted for resettlement. Progress on resettlement will be reported in quarterly immigration statistics.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 14/11/2016 16:08:13 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
