Asylum: Information Sharing

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 17 April 2025 to Question 43109 on Asylum: Local Government, what data is shared with local government under cross-cohort, place-based data sharing.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office is sharing more cross-cohort, place-based data with our partners; providing SMPs and Local Authorities with a better view of the asylum, resettlement and National Transfer Scheme population in their area. We are improving the level of visibility that partners have over the breakdown of the protection-based migrant population in their area, enabling SMPs and Local Authorities to better coordinate projects and services based on the local demographic of asylum cases.
