Undocumented Migrants: English Channel

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many people haveĀ arrived in small boats across the English Channel since 7 March; and how many people crossed during each month from March 2022 to March 2023.

Answer

Statistics releases about irregular migration, including arrivals in small boats, are published regularly.

The latest statistics, to the end of March 2023, may be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/irregular-migration-to-the-uk-year-ending-march-2023.

The next quarter of statistics is due to be published on 24 August 2023. The Home Office needs to ensure that information intended for publication meets the standards and requirements set for departmental publications. It would not be in the public interest for the Home Office to release this information prior to meeting such standards.
