Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individual asylum claims her Department received in each month of the last five years.

The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on asylum applications raised are published in table Asy_D01, and data on the outcomes of asylum applications at initial decision are published in table Asy_D02 of the ‘asylum and resettlement detailed datasets’. Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates to the end of December 2021.

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
