<p>The Home Office is the lead UK Government department responsible for the handling
of Syrian refugees. The British Overseas Territories have not been asked to take part
in the resettlement of the Syrian refuges into their communities.</p><p>Immigration
policy is a devolved responsibility for the Governments of the British Overseas Territories.
If requested, it would therefore be for individual Overseas Territories to decide
whether they would be willing to assist with the relocating of Syrian refugees in
this particular case.</p>
