Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to support Sudanese (a) refugees arriving in the UK and (b) students and other visitors in the UK at the onset of the crisis.

We are proud of our long-standing tradition of welcoming refugees and individuals in need through resettlement schemes and have welcomed over half a million people through safe and legal routes since 2015.

The UK currently operates several resettlement schemes which Sudanese nationals may be eligible for, including the UK Resettlement Scheme (UKRS) and the Community Sponsorship Scheme. However, the UK had finite resources and is so not able to provide tailored humanitarian routes in every circumstance.
