Passenger arrival data by nationality are published annually by the Home Office in the Immigration Statistics release. However, it is not possible to separately identify those passengers that have applied for asylum from the total number of arrivals.
An outcome analysis of annual cohorts of asylum applicants is also published annually by the Home Office. Figures on the numbers of grants, refusals, enforced removal and voluntary departure for those applying for asylum between 2010 and 2014 are provided in Table B.

The analysis of the outcomes of asylum applications are the recorded outcomes of the group (or cohort) of applicants in any one year, as at a particular time. A proportion of applications made in each of the years provided will be awaiting the outcome of an initial decision or an appeal. Applications from earlier years will inherently have had longer for the case to be processed than those from more recent years. This dataset is updated, in full, annually.
There are a large variety of routes that an asylum application can take to a final asylum outcome. As a consequence, analysis of the outcomes of asylum applications in any one year requires interpretation for a small percentage of cases. This interpretation is undertaken consistently by established computer code. The proportions and underlying figures for final outcomes of the analysis of applications for the group (or cohort) of applicants in any one year, are therefore estimated.
