answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2015 answer text <p>The UK will continue to use the established UNHCR process for identifying and resettling refugees. We are in discussion with the UNHCR on the precise criteria for selecting cases for the expanded resettlement scheme. However, we are clear that the most vulnerable cases will be prioritised and we will only resettle those people that we and the UNHCR agree require resettlement in a country like the UK.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 22/09/2015 15:16:30 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

uin	HL2122
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/09/2015 answer text <p>We intend to resettle 20,000 Syrians in need of protection during this Parliament. We will continue to work closely with the UNHCR to identify appropriate cases, prioritising the most vulnerable. As the expanded scheme is based on need and reliant on the UNHCR and other partners to make it work, it is not possible or appropriate to set any sort of annual target, but we are clear that we want to help people as quickly as possible.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 22/09/2015 15:39:26 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
