The former immigration Minister announced on 21 April 2016 that a new scheme would be introduced to resettle vulnerable children from the Middle East and North Africa region, which would bring up to 3,000 people to the UK over the life of the Parliament.
Data on the number of people who have been resettled under this scheme will be published in the quarterly Home Office statistics.
