Over 17,000 refugees have found sanctuary in the UK through the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) and are rebuilding their lives here.</p><p>Once we have delivered our current commitments under the VPRS, Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme and Gateway Protection Programme, we will consolidate these schemes into a new global resettlement scheme to start in 2020. We will continue to work with UNHCR to identify refugees for resettlement as we implement the new scheme.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 30/10/2019 17:17:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
