UK ready to accept 20,000 Syrian refugees at a cost of £170 million a year

‘The British government has secured enough places to resettle 20,000 Syrian refugees over the course of next four years, Home Secretary Amber Rudd says.
Rudd made the announcement on Sunday, adding that 118 local authorities have agreed to provide the places to the refugees, who have fled their war-torn homeland that has been grappling with foreign-backed militancy since March 2011.
“We are on track and delivering our commitment to help the most vulnerable Syrians displaced by the conflict,” the minister said.
To fulfill the pledge, London has designed the Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme, under which the government will pay £8,500 per refugee in the first year for housing, healthcare and other purposes. The figure will be cut down to £1,000 by the fifth year.’
