Asylum: Preston
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers her Department sent to live in Preston in each month of (a) 2019, (b) 2020 and (c) 2021.
- Answer
-
The latest published Immigration Statistics detail the number of asylum seekers accommodated in each local authority area. These statistics can be found at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/asylum-and-resettlement-datasets#asylum-support
Data is published on a quarterly basis, with the latest information published 25 February 2021.
The Home Office does not publish a breakdown of these statistics which disaggregates the number of asylum seekers accommodated in dispersal accommodation for the first time in each quarter in each of the last two years, by local authority. These figures are not available in a reportable format and to provide the information could only be done at disproportionate cost.
