Written Question
Undocumented Migrants
Wednesday 13th March 2024

Asked by: Lord Scriven (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many individuals have arrived into the UK via irregular routes since 7 March 2023; and of those individuals, how many have a case for refugee status started by the Home Office.

Answered by Lord Sharpe of Epsom - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)

The Home Office publishes statistics on irregular arrivals to the UK in the ‘Irregular migration to the UK statistics’ release on gov.uk. Data on irregular arrivals from 2018 to 2023 is published in table Irr_D01 of the ‘Irregular migration to the UK detailed datasets’. Data on asylum applications from small boat arrivals and the initial decisions for these applications is published in tables Irr_D02 and Irr_D03 of the ‘Irregular migration to the UK detailed datasets’, with the latest data up to the end of May 2023.

The Home Office does not publish data on asylum applications for other irregular arrivals.

As shown on table Irr_D03, there were no applications of asylum granted to small boat arrivals who arrived in April and May 2023.
