Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum claims have been processed in each of the last 12 months for which data is available; and what proportion that figure represents of undecided asylum claims in each such month.

Data for the year ending June 2023 will be published on 24 August 2023.

Data on outcome analysis of asylum applications raised in a specific period are published in table Asy_D04 of the ‘asylum and resettlement detailed datasets’. The latest data relates to 2021. Data for 2022 will be published 24 August 2023.

Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbooks. Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
