Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Chinese nationals currently have refugee status.

The Home Office does not hold figures on the total number of people with refugee status.

The Home Office publishes annual and quarterly statistics on grants of asylum and other forms of protection, and those resettled under the Gateway Protection Programme, Mandate and Vulnerable Persons Relocation Schemes.

These statistics are published quarterly in tables as_01 and as_19_q of the Immigration Statistics release, which is available online via the following link:
