Written question asked by Karin Smyth (Labour) on Wednesday, 28 October 2015, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Friday, 30 October 2015. It was answered by James Brokenshire (Conservative) on Monday, 9 November 2015 on behalf of the Home Office.

Refugees: Bristol

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many refugees the Government plans to resettle in the Bristol City Council area.

Answer

Resettlement under the government schemes is voluntary on the part of local authorities. We are grateful to those who take on this role and will continue to work in partnership with them.

We do not disclose the details of where refugees are resettled upon their arrival in the UK under the Government resettlement schemes as this may undermine the privacy and recovery of this vulnerable group of people.
