More than 1,200 Syrian refugees have already been resettled in Scotland.
Immigration minister Robert Goodwill said: "The humanitarian crisis in Syria is unprecedented which is why we decided to undertake one of the largest resettlement schemes in the UK's history.
"I am very grateful to the local authorities, community groups and individuals across Scotland who have helped to provide these vulnerable people with a safe environment and the chance to rebuild their lives."
'Meeting its commitment'
Hundreds of flights carrying Syrians escaping their country's civil war have arrived in the UK over the past 18 months.
More than 5,500 refugees have been resettled in the UK under the scheme so far and around a fifth of them have been found homes in Scotland.
The UK government said it remains on track to meet its commitment of resettling 20,000 Syrians by 2020.
In addition to the VPR scheme, the government has also committed to accepting up to 3,000 vulnerable children and family members directly from the Middle East and North Africa.
Thanks for the info May! I would never have known what is REALLY
going on in the uk without you?
So i seems we are being ruled by two separate governments at the
same time??
One that has committed to reducing immigration and one that is
even more committed to increasing it!!
I believe the elected government is currently supposed to be in
charge,with a mandate to reduce immigration!
Why then are schemes inaugurated years ago STILL being
implemented i n contravention of the current governments mandate?
Is there a rogue gov dept operating clandestinely within government?
It would seem so, considering the half hearted attempts to stem
the inward flow of so called asylum seekers at the other end of
the country?
They must let Cummings have his way with this old guard civil
service imo!!!
Donkeyman! 👎👎😟👎👎
