We are <br>working closely with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) <br>in the region to identify the exceptional cases whose needs are so profound <br>that they need to be resettled to a country like the UK. The scheme is <br>therefore based on need, rather than designed to meet set arrival projections. <br>However, we will continue to bring groups here on a regular basis, and envisage <br>that several hundred people will be helped over the next three years.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 14/07/2014 12:35:04 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
