Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many unaccompanied young asylum seekers from Syria, aged (1) 1 to 8, (2) 9 to 12, and (3) 13 to 18, have been accepted into the UK since the September 2015 commitment was made.

The Home Office publishes the number of initial decisions on asylum applications from Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children, each quarter in table as_09_q of the Immigration Statistics release.

To include these data would exceed the word limit for a PQ response, but the latest figures are available at the following link:https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/546760/asylum3-q2-2016-tabs.ods and are also attached to this answer.
