Undocumented Migrants: Norfolk

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainHome OfficeTabled Answered 4 November 2024UIN 11209

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many irregular migrants have landed in (a) Norfolk and (b) Great Yarmouth constituency since 2018.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

On a daily basis, the Home Office publishes data on the number of small boats crossing the Channel that have been involved in uncontrolled landings. The latest such publication, and a time series dating back to 2018, can be found at the following link:

Statistics relating to Illegal Migration - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

We do not hold data in an easily accessible format for the number of these boats to arrive in Norfolk or in the Great Yarmouth Constituency.
