Written Question
Asylum: Sexual Offences
Thursday 12th March 2026

Asked by: Mark Pritchard (Conservative - The Wrekin)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the number of sexual offences that have been committed by asylum seekers in (a) the West Mercia Police region and (b) Shropshire since 2025.

Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office does not hold data on the number of people in asylum accommodation who have been accused of a crime. Allegations of criminal activity are matters for the police, who are responsible for recording, investigating, and progressing criminal reports.

Home Office accommodation providers and operational staff work closely with local police forces to share relevant safeguarding information to manage risks within the asylum accommodation estate. Where incidents occur, established processes ensure that appropriate action is taken to protect both asylum seekers and staff, and additional support is deployed where necessary.
