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

In order to protect the privacy of those being resettled we limit the amount of information about them that we make publicly available. We therefore do not routinely publish a religious and ethnic breakdown of those who have been resettled.
