The Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation (VPR) scheme is designed to complement our humanitarian aid efforts and is based on need rather than fulfilling a quota; however, we have said we expect the scheme to help several hundred people over three years, and we remain on track to deliver that commitment.<\/p>

This is in addition to our consideration of asylum claims lodged in the UK under our normal rules. Since the crisis began, we have given sanctuary to more than 3,400 Syrian nationals and their dependants. In addition, the UK has been at the forefront of the international response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria, having pledged £700m, making us the second largest bilateral donor.<\/p>

We strongly believe that we should continue to focus on aid rather than resettlement as the best way for the UK to maximise our impact, and we therefore have no current plans to expand the VPR scheme.<\/p>

The process for family members who wish to apply to join a refugee family member in the UK is set out in detail on the Home Office website at https://www.gov.uk/settlement-refugee-or-humanitarian-protection/family-reunion<\/a>. This includes details of the qualifying criteria and the relevant documentary requirements. The Government will consider the recommendations in the Report as part of the next review of the family reunion policy and application process next year.<\/p>

Syrian refugees who do not meet the requirements in the Immigration Rules for refugee family reunion may apply under other routes in the Rules, including under Appendix FM, if they have relevant family members in the UK.<\/p>

The UK also operates the Mandate refugee scheme which provides a resettlement route for individual refugees who have been recognised by UNHCR and have close family ties with the UK. The UK is only able to consider resettlement applications from refugees who have been referred to us by UNHCR.<\/p>

The new careers and enterprise company that my Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, announced on 10 December will not replace the National Careers Service. The National Careers Service does a different job. The new company will not itself be a direct delivery organisation. It will work closely with the National Careers Service, which will continue to support adults and young people and help the company bring employers and schools together, and it will work with a wide range of other organisations.<\/p>

The Licensing Act 2003 put in place a robust regime for licensing the sale of alcohol. Section 191 of the Act defines alcohol as "spirits, wine, beer, cider or any other fermented, distilled or spirituous liquor", and lists some exceptions. The status of products containing alcohol are considered on a case by case basis. Although the Act refers to liquids and this product is sold in solid form, it is intended to be drunk as a liquid.<\/p>

The Government is not aware of powdered alcohol being marketed or made available to buy in England and Wales, although we are aware of its sale in other countries. In the event that there is a proposal to market powdered alcohol in England and Wales, the Home Office will make a formal assessment of its legal position.<\/p>
