Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum applicants were granted permission to work in the UK in 2019.
The data requested on the number of asylum seekers granted permission to work in 2019 is only held on paper case files or within the notes sections of the Home Office's databases. This information is not held in a reportable format and to obtain it would exceed the disproportinate cost threshold.
