The data in this table refers to main, female claimants who have raised a claim
for asylum and been detained in the financial years 2011/2012, 2012/2013 and
2013/2014, and who have been detained either on or after the day that a claim
for asylum was raised. Claimants who have had more than one period of detention
are recorded under the latest period of detention.

The figures quoted have been derived from management information and are
therefore provisional and subject to change. This information has not been
quality assured under National Statistics protocols, as such it should be
treated as provisional and subject to change.
