We are clear, from discussions with other Member States, that any schemes to transfer unaccompanied should not act as a draw. The Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme is a bespoke scheme to resettle 3,000 vulnerable children together with their families directly from the Middle East and North Africa region.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 18/10/2017 12:11:04 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
