Legal Aid: Undocumented Migrants
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much legal aid was provided to (a) irregular migrants and (b) asylum seekers in each of the last five years.
Answered by Sarah Sackman
Expenditure data for irregular migrants and asylum seekers across all legal aid schemes is not held centrally.
The Legal Aid Agency publishes information about case volumes and expenditure data for the immigration and asylum category as part of its official statistics.
