Asylum: Expenditure
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much her Department has spent on asylum support in each year since 2018.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Home Office publishes information on asylum expenditure in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts at HO annual reports and accounts - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)(opens in a new tab).
Prior to 2023/24 asylum support costs were not published separately.
The government is determined to restore order to the asylum system so that it operates swiftly, firmly, and fairly, this includes reviewing all spending to ensure the best value for money for the British taxpayer.
