Asylum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers there are by (a) day and (b) month of birth.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Home Office does not currently publish data on the dates of birth of asylum seekers.
The Home Office publishes data on asylum by age group in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. The latest data relates to the year ending September 2025.
Official statistics published by the Home Office are kept under review in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics, taking into account a number of factors including user needs, the resources required to compile the statistics, as well as quality and availability of data. These reviews allow us to balance the production of our regular statistics whilst developing new statistics for future release.
