Changes to intermediary relief would risk causing serious disruption to the market with implications both for companies’ funding costs and for London’s position as a global listing venue. Even a small restriction could be damaging by causing a change in behaviour, resulting in less tax revenue overall.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 17/09/2015 15:18:19 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

uin	9355
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>At a meeting of the informal Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Council on 9 July Member States agreed to resettle over 22,500 people, taking account of priority regions for resettlement including North Africa, the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, focusing in particular on the countries where Regional Development and Protection Programmes are implemented. The UK made it clear that it would not be participating in an EU resettlement scheme as we already operate successful national schemes. At the extraordinary JHA Council on 14 September, the Home Secretary made clear the Government's view that resettlement from the region is an essential part of the response to the situation in Syria. All UK resettlement activity will continue to be delivered under existing national programmes, including the expanded Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme under which we expect to resettle up to 20,000 Syrians in need of protection during this Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 16/09/2015 16:21:37 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Statement on Syrian Refugees and Counter-terrorism of 7 September 2015, Official Report, column 24, how many additional refugees the Government plans to take under the (a) Gateway programme and (b) Mandate programme over the duration of this Parliament.
tabling member constituency	Sheffield, Heeley
tabling member printed	Louise Haigh
uin	9466
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2015 answer text <p>The Gateway programme demonstrates the UK’s proud tradition of providing protection to refugees; and of the UK’s commitment to supporting UNHCR’s global effort to provide durable solutions to the plight of refugees. Since the first arrivals in March 2004, the UK has resettled over 6,300 refugees under the Gateway programme. The current commitment is to resettle 750 refugees per year, generally those in protracted situations, and has been fully met over the last two years. The Mandate Refugee Scheme is designed to resettle individual refugees from anywhere in the world who have been recognised as refugees by UNHCR, and judged by them to be in need of resettlement; and who have a close family member in the UK who is willing to accommodate them.</p><p>Therefore this scheme has no quota. There are no plans to expand either of these schemes over the term of this Parliament and we will continue with our commitment to offer protection to those in most need, along side those beneficiaries of the Vulnerable Person’s Relocation scheme.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 17/09/2015 11:23:28 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
