The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 9 September 2025 to Question 74527 on Asylum: Staff, how many asylum decisionmakers were employed on 28 April 2025.

Answered by Alex Norris

The number of full time equivalent (FTE) asylum caseworkers employed per month until June 2025 is published in the ASY_05(M) tab of the published migration transparency statistics, located here: Immigration and protection data: Q2 2025 (Migration transparency data - GOV.UK)

At the end of April 2025, there were 1,995 FTE asylum caseworking staff. Attrition would likely occur since that time.
