Written question asked by Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench) on Thursday, 23 February 2023, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 9 March 2023. It was answered by Lord Murray of Blidworth (Conservative) on Thursday, 9 March 2023 on behalf of the Home Office.


Yazidis: Iraq

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many members of the Yazidi community from Iraq have been resettled in the UK since 2014.

Answer

The Home Office provides resettlement solely on the basis of needs, identified by UNHCR. Individual ethnic and religious background is not part of this consideration.

We therefore do not publish a religious or ethnic breakdown of those who have been resettled.
