(asked on 9th September 2015) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what guidance and restrictions they have given to the UNHCR about the selection of Syrian refugees for resettlement in the United Kingdom.
This question was answered on 22nd September 2015
The UK will continue to use the established UNHCR process for identifying and resettling refugees. We are in discussion with the UNHCR on the precise criteria for selecting cases for the expanded resettlement scheme. However, we are clear that the most vulnerable cases will be prioritised and we will only resettle those people that we and the UNHCR agree require resettlement in a country like the UK.
