Undocumented Migrants: English Channel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many irregular migrants that have arrived by small boat have been granted asylum in each of the last five years.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Home Office publishes statistics on detected small boat arrivals to the UK in the ‘Irregular migration to the UK statistics’ release. Data on initial decisions on asylum applications from small boat arrivals, including the number granted, is published in table Irr_D03 of the ‘Irregular migration to the UK detailed datasets’ with the latest data up to the end of June 2024. Data for July to September 2024 will be published in November 2024.
