uin	218034
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>Given the vulnerabilities of those brought to the UK under the Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme, and the fact that no one yet has received a full 12 months of support, it is not possible at this stage to identify the average cost of refugee resettlement. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the cost of resettling a refugee in the UK is far greater than that of supporting a refugee in the region. We can therefore help far more people in need through our support to partners delivering assistance in neighbouring countries.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 15/12/2014 13:13:35 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
