<p>Refugee resettlement to the UK is based on need, as assessed by the United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) who adhere to humanitarian principles including
impartiality, rather than any specific ethnicity or religion.</p><p>Refugee resettlement
statistics are published through official statistics at quarterly intervals. These
statistics can be broken down by nationality. We do not publish data on ethnicity
or religious affiliation. The next set of statistics will be published in August and
will include the number of people resettled up to end of June 2021. These are available
from: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release</p><p>As
set out in the New Plan for Immigration, the UK will continue to work with the UNHCR
to ensure our resettlement schemes are accessible and fair, resettling refugees from
countries where the need is greatest, and ensuring those in need of resettlement can
access it.</p>
