The Government has no plans to relocate to the UK any migrants who have entered another EU country illegally. Our position on EU proposals for compulsory relocation of asylum seekers is clear: it is the wrong response and would simply move the problem around Europe rather than dealing with it at source.<\/p>

We are increasing our support and protection for those who need it. The UK Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme (VPR) was launched in January 2014, to provide protection \u2013 including torture survivors and women and children at risk - who cannot be supported effectively in their region of origin. 187 have been resettled in the UK in just over a year and more arrive each month in the UK. And we have granted asylum to over 4000 Syrians since the start of the humanitarian crisis there. The UK has already settled over 6000 refugees over the past 10 years in direct cooperation with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees under the Gateway programme. We are of course one of five EU countries that takes in 75% of all asylum seekers coming to Europe.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1530", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Brokenshire"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Old Bexley and Sidcup"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Brokenshire"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-06-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "2494"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-06-18T12:28:13.17Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-06-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mediterranean Sea: Refugees"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many migrants who have crossed the Mediterranean her Department plans to allow to resettle in the UK.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/308", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Jim Cunningham"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Coventry South"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Jim Cunningham"} ], "uin" : "2493"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&tablingMemberConstituency=Coventry+South&answer.answeringMemberPrinted=James+Brokenshire", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 22, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
