There are no current plans to resettle those displaced from ISIS-controlled areas of Iraq. However, we are proud of the UK’s record of offering protection to those genuinely in need, and the Government will of course continue to consider asylum claims, including applications from Iraqi nationals suffering religious persecution, under our normal rules.
