Asylum: Northern Ireland

Asked by Carla LockhartDemocratic Unionist PartyHome OfficeTabled Answered 3 June 2026UIN 4462

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if her Department will publish a Northern Ireland-specific asylum expenditure table covering accommodation, subsistence, healthcare-related support, education-related support, legal support, transport, security, integration and contract administration since 2019.

Answered by Alex Norris

We do not report on data at this granularity and would only be obtainable at disproportionate cost.

The Home Office publishes information on asylum expenditure in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts at Home Office annual reports and accounts - GOV.UK.
