Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 12 November 2024 to Question 12491 on Crime: Undocumented Migrants, if she will publish the statistics that her Department holds on that matter.

The Home Office does not publish data on individual ages of small boat arrivals to the UK.

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.
