Undocumented Migrants: English Channel
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people who arrived illegally via small boat (a) before and (b) since 5 July 2024 are living in hotel accommodation.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Home Office does not publish asylum support statistics broken down by method of arrival.
However, data is published quarterly, on both the number of supported asylum seekers in accommodation, including hotels, and the number of small boat arrivals, and can be found at: Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK.
