So far, councils have only made arrangements to take in 8,146 refugees of the total of 20,000 David Cameron has pledged the UK would accept. A survey of councils by the Local Government Chronicle revealed that of the 152 councils who oversee social care, 53 authorities are not offering to take in any refugees..
