As the Prime Minister set out in his statement to Parliament on 13 December 2022, as we get a grip on illegal migration, we will introduce an annual quota on the number of refugees admitted to the UK via safe and legal routes.

The quota will be agreed by parliament and will be amendable in the face of humanitarian emergencies. In developing the quota, we will engage with local authorities and relevant sector bodies to determine capacity.
