Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the number of migrants who arrived in the UK via irregular routes from countries in the Sahel during the past 12 months.
The Home Office publishes statistics on detected irregular arrivals to the UK by method of entry and nationality (which may differ from country of origin), in the ‘Irregular migration to the UK statistics’ release on gov.uk. These statistics are published in table Irr_D01 of the irregular migration to the UK detailed datasets, which can be downloaded via the table attached.
The latest data goes up to the end of June 2023.
