To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many outstanding asylum applications there are for people living in South Ribble constituency.
Answered by Angela Eagle - Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the âImmigration System Statistics Quarterly Releaseâ. Data on asylum seekers awaiting an initial decision is published in table Asy_D03 of the âAsylum applications, initial decisions and resettlement detailed datasetsâ. This table is not broken down by constituency.
Data on asylum seekers on support by local authority is published in table Asy_D11 of the âAsylum applications, initial decisions and resettlement detailed datasetsâ. Please note that not all asylum seekers awaiting a decision will be on support.
Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the âNotesâ page of the workbooks.
