The Home Office is committed to publishing data in an orderly way as part of the regular quarterly Immigration Statistics, in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics.

The statistics are available in Volume 4 of the Asylum Data Tables in the most recent Immigration Statistics quarterly publication (April-June 2017) at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release

Table ‘as_19_q’ attached shows resettlement by nationality for those resettled under each resettlement scheme. Table ‘as_20_q’ shows refugees resettled under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme broken down by receiving local authority. (see table below) We do not routinely publish resettlement data for other schemes by receiving local authority.
