Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

Asylum: France
Asked by: Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat - Westmorland and Lonsdale)
Monday 27th October 2025

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to publish data on the (a) number of applications received and (b) outcomes of applications of people who have applied to come to the UK under UK-France Agreement on the Prevention of Dangerous Journeys.

Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office publishes statistics on entry clearance visa applications and outcomes as part of the Immigration System Statistics quarterly release. Data for all visa types, including for those arriving via the UK-France Agreement on the Prevention of Dangerous Journeys, will be included within the entry clearance visas data tables.

The Home Office is committed to publishing further data at the end of the pilot period in 2026.

As of close of play on 20 October, 23 people have been transferred from France to the UK via the new safe, legal route. However, it is not appropriate to provide a continual update on each phase of the operation, not least as it involves sensitive information that could prove valuable to the organised immigration crime gangs that are behind small boats crossings.
