Asylum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of asylum claims in each local authority were (a) successful, (b) ongoing and (c) rejected since 2018.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on the initial decision of asylum claims (including grants and refusals), and data on asylum claims awaiting initial decision, is published in tables Asy_D02 and Asy_D03 of the ‘Asylum applications, initial decisions and resettlement detailed datasets’ respectively. This data is not broken down by local authority.
Local authority level data on people in the asylum system who are in receipt of support is published in table Asy_D11 of the ‘Asylum seekers in receipt of support by local authority detailed datasets’.
The latest data relates to the year ending September 2024.
