Asylum: Bromsgrove

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers have been granted the right to remain in Bromsgrove constituency since July 2024.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

The information requested is not currently available from published statistics, and the relevant data could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on the initial decision of asylum claims (including grants), is published in table Asy_D02 of the ‘Asylum applications, initial decisions and resettlement detailed datasets’. This data is not broken down by constituency. The Home Office does not track the addresses of those granted refugee status, and refugees are free to move around the UK or leave.

Data on asylum seekers on support by local authority is published in table Asy_D11 of the ‘Asylum seekers in receipt of support by local authority detailed datasets’. This data does not include information about the decisions made on the asylum claims of these individuals.

The latest data relates to the year ending September 2024. Data for October to December 2024 will be published on 27 February 2025.
