successful completion of the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme through which
20,000 refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria were given sanctuary in the UK. The
UK Resettlement Scheme continues to successfully resettle refugees, as local authority
and community sponsor capacity allows, and as we recover from the pandemic.</p><p>Statistics
under the scheme are published through official statistics at quarterly intervals.
The next set of statistics will be published in July and will include the number of
people resettled since March. These are available from:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release"

scheme allows refugees at exceptional and immediate risk to be resettled more quickly.</p>
