The Home Office does not publish asylum support statistics broken down by method of arrival.

However, data is published quarterly, on both the number of supported asylum seekers in accommodation, including hotels, and the number of small boat arrivals, and can be found at: Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK.
