Asked by Lee AndersonReform UKHome OfficeTabled Answered 31 October 2025UIN 78577

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department keeps records of the location of all asylum seekers who have had their application refused in the UK.

Answered by Alex Norris

Asylum seekers are not detained and we rely on them to update us about their accommodation if they are not in Home Office accommodation.

The Home Office publishes data on asylum-related returns in ‘Returns summary tables(opens in a new tab)’. The latest data is up to June 2025.
