As set out in the Memorandum of Understanding, a small number of the most vulnerable refugees in Rwanda will be resettled in the UK as part of the Migration and Economic Development Partnership.

The number will be small- likely in the tens, rather than the hundreds.

More details on the resettlement of vulnerable refugees will be set out in due
