Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the headcount number of caseworkers for processing asylum claims was broken down by (a) individual route and (b) month since July 2024.

The Home Office is maintaining sufficient resource in place to clear the Asylum backlog.

The number of full time equivalent (FTE) asylum caseworkers employed per month until June 2025 is published in the ASY_05(M) tab of the published migration transparency statistics, located here: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK.

At the end of June 2025 there were 2,057 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Asylum Caseworking Staff.

We do not publish breakdown of this information by individual route.
