answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2015 answer text <p>The Prime Minister has announced the expansion of the Government's Syrian Vulnerable Person Scheme, which is based on need rather than fulfilling a quota in a particular year. We expect to resettle 20,000 Syrians in need of protection during this Parliament. As the expanded scheme is based on need and reliant on the UNHCR and other partners to deliver, it is not possible or appropriate to set any sort of annual target, but we are clear that we must help people as soon as possible as the Home Secretary updated the House on 16 September.</p><p>In addition to the Scheme, since the crisis in Syria began in 2011 we have granted asylum or other forms of leave to almost 5,000 Syrian nationals and dependants through normal asylum procedures. The UK has a proud history of offering asylum to those who need it most; we will continue to carefully consider all asylum applications made in the UK on their individual merits to ensure we provide protection where it is really needed.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 18/09/2015 16:04:02 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2015 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to provide funds to other EU Member States to care for migrants or refugees arriving in other parts of Europe. We will, however, continue to provide practical support coordinated by the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) in the form of expertise to help build capacity in States facing particular pressures.</p><p>HM Government has already committed £900 million in humanitarian aid to the humanitarian crisis in Syria and the region. A further £100 million announced in the past few days, brings our commitment to £1bn, more than any other country in the world except the United States.</p><p>In addition, the Chancellor has announced a fundamental review of how the aid budget is used . The current Syrian resettlement scheme is funded through a mixture of Official Development Assistance and EU funds: we are using the aid budget to help some of the most vulnerable people in the world and to relieve the pressure on local communities.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 14/09/2015 15:28:33 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p>The Home Secretary has no powers to ban a static demonstration. We have a long-standing tradition of freedom of expression and association in this country and the Government is clear that people are free to gather to protest and express their views in public. However, the right to protest does not extend to threats and other criminal behaviour. Like all members of the public, protesters are subject to the law and should individuals cross the boundary into criminal acts including public order offences, hate crime offences including anti-Semitic or violent behaviour, the police will take action.</p><p>The Home Secretary has written to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police to ask that he takes full account of the available powers in respect of the demonstration planned for Golders Green on 4 July 2015.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 15/06/2015 10:50:52 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
