Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 10 September 2018 to Question 170888 on Refugees: Syria, what proportion of Syrian refugees of each religious group recommended to be resettled by the UNHCR the UK agreed to resettle in each of the last four years.

The UK’s resettlement programmes follow the humanitarian principles of impartiality and neutrality, which means that we resettle solely based on needs identified by UNHCR through their established processes, rather than on the basis of ethno-religious origin

We do not routinely publish a religious and ethnic breakdown of those who have been resettled, however internal management information indicates the proportions of Syrian refugees who are recommended for resettlement and those who are subsequently accepted for resettlement are broadly consistent across religious denominations
