Undocumented Migrants: English Channel

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people who entered the UK after crossing the English Channel in small boats in 2019 are now housed under the seven regional Asylum Accommodation and Support Contracts.

Answer

The Home Office publishes quarterly figures on the number of asylum seekers housed in dispersed accommodation, by local authority, in the Immigration Statistics release, https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/asylum-and-resettlement-datasets#asylum-support.

Breakdowns of asylum claims by method of arrival or type of claim are not routinely published.
