UK to open new refugee resettlement routes for Afghan women and Palestinians
The GuardianFactual
Shabana Mahmood will announce a new refugee resettlement route that prioritises Afghan women and girls and Palestinians, reopening a scheme suspended for two years and giving eligible refugees a faster path to permanent status. The home secretary will tell the Labour conference the capped, controlled scheme will restore fairness to the immigration system, though experts and charities say the numbers are too small to deter small boat crossings.
