answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2015 answer text <p>Clearly, the cost of such a major expansion will be significant. The current Syrian resettlement scheme is funded through a mixture of Official Development Assistance and EU funds. It is the Government’s intention that the expansion of the scheme will be funded in the same way, easing the burden on local communities as we meet the moral obligation to play our part in responding to the refugee crisis in Syria.</p><p>Under existing arrangements, UK resettlement schemes provide 12 months of funding to limit the impact of new arrivals on local authorities and services and to ensure that new arrivals are properly supported and integrated. Beyond that time refugees are treated in the same way as any other UK resident, with access to the labour market and mainstream benefits. This system works well. However, all arrangements will need to be reviewed over the coming weeks given the increase in numbers to ensure fairness, protect local services and the quality of the care provided to refugees.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 14/09/2015 10:18:02 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
