Asylum: Detainees

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people applied for asylum in 2022 from detention in the UK.

Answer

The Home Office publishes data on asylum and detention in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’.

Data on asylum applications by nationality is published in table Asy_D01 of the ‘asylum and resettlement detailed datasets’. Data on the number of people entering, in and leaving detention with an asylum claim is published in table Det_01 of the ‘detention summary tables’.

Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates to December 2022.

The Home Office does not publish information on applications from individuals previously refused asylum.
