question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Syrian people have been resettled in the UK under the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme since its launch; and what assessment she has made of the contribution made by (a) the UK and (b) other European countries to the UN goal for 30,000 Syrian refugees to be admitted to other countries by the end of 2014.

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
