Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many individuals have been identified as eligible for resettlement schemes and have authorisation to travel to the UK, but who currently reside in Lebanon and are awaiting travel confirmation.

Work continues at pace to resettle eligible individuals under UKRS from Lebanon. The number of individuals and families resettled is a changing picture due to the operational nature of the scheme, making it difficult to release numbers of eligible individuals due for resettlement at this time. Statistics on the number resettled will be recorded and reported in the relevant quarterly immigration data sets.

It can be confirmed that the UK Government is working as quickly as possible to bring those families who have been accepted onto the UK Resettlement Scheme to the UK by securing seats on flights where they become available.
