Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what percentage of asylum seekers arriving in the UK by unofficial transit routes were eventually successful in their asylum claims in each of the last five years.
The Home Office publishes statistics on the asylum outcomes of small boat arrivals in the ‘Irregular migration to the UK statistics’ report on gov.uk. The latest data is in the ‘Irregular migration to the UK, year ending December 2022’ release.
The Home Office does not publish breakdowns for the asylum outcomes of people arriving by other irregular routes.
