<p>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.</p><p>We
believe that one way to protect the privacy of those being resettled and support their
recovery and integration is to limit the amount of information about them that we
make publicly available.</p><p>We therefore do not routinely publish a religious and
ethnic breakdown of those who have been resettled, however internal management information
indicates that the majority of Syrian refugees referred by UNHCR, and resettled to
the UK are Muslim, with Christians and other religious groups represented in smaller
numbers.</p>
