Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers there are in each local authority area.
The Home Office publishes quarterly figures on the number of asylum seekers housed in dispersed accommodation by local authority in the Immigration Statistics release, in table as_16q in volume 4 of the Asylum data tables.
These figures do not include those asylum seekers who do not receive Home Office support and who either accommodate themselves or stay with family and friends.
