The number of officials who were responsible for examining and making decisions on asylum applications at the end of 2021 is not held in a reportable format as resources cross a number of different departments. Therefore, to obtain this information could only be obtained at disproportionate costs.

However, the Home Office can provide the number of asylum decision makers from up to year ending 2021. This data can be found in ASY_04 of the published Transparency data:
