uin	HL150
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2017 answer text <p>We are closely monitoring the current electricity situation in Gaza.

question text	Her Majesty's Government what percentage of those allocated asylum places under the UK Syrian Vulnerable Persons scheme are religious minorities.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Southwark
uin	HL153
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2017 answer text <p>The refugees that we are bringing to the United Kingdom are very vulnerable people. Our prime concern is their safety and protection as they arrive in this country. We believe that one way to protect their privacy and ensure their recovery and integration is to limit the amount of information about them that we make publicly available.</p><p>In resettlement the UK works according to the humanitarian principles of impartiality and neutrality- which means that we do not take into consideration the ethno-religious origins of people requiring assistance as we resettle solely on the basis of needs, identified by UNHCR. We therefore do not believe it is appropriate to publish a religious and ethnic breakdown of those who have been resettled. Notwithstanding this the Home Office is committed to publishing data on arrivals in an orderly way as part of the regular quarterly Immigration Statistics, in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 28/06/2017 15:41:22 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
