Lord Greaves – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Greaves on 2015-12-08.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government with which local authorities in England they are discussing an arrangement for the settlement of refugees from Syria.

Lord Bates

The Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme operates on a voluntary basis, and we are in discussions with local authorities across the UK regarding their participation. Resettlement can be a sensitive issue for local areas, and we therefore cannot disclose which local authorities are considering their involvement without their consent.
