In July, we introduced a dedicated immigration policy to ensure survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire without leave to remain can access services and benefits and seek employment.

It is a targeted policy designed to benefit a limited number of people. We have plans to publish statistics in due course and will not be providing updates on numbers in the meantime.
