answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>To date 50 refugees have arrived in the UK under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons<br>Relocation scheme (VPR). We will continue to bring groups here on a regular <br>basis, and envisage that several hundred people will be helped over the next three <br>years. The VPR scheme does not form part of the UN quota but runs in parallel <br>with the United Nations High Commission for Refugees' (UNHCR) own Syria <br>Humanitarian Admission Programme. The Government has been clear that this is a <br>crisis of international proportions and needs a fitting response from the <br>international community. The UNHCR is best placed to comment on the policies of <br>other countries regarding Syrian refugees. With 2.9 million refugees now in Syria's <br>neighbouring countries, we continue to believe that prioritising humanitarian aid is<br>the best way to ensure that the UK's help has the greatest impact.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 30/06/2014 12:55:59 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
