Refugee status is conferred following a grant of asylum. An asylum seeker may only become a refugee once asylum has been granted. Not all asylum seekers are deemed to be refugees and not all refugees claim asylum.

The Home Office publishes data, in its quarterly Immigration Statistics release, on the number of asylum seekers granted refugee status, by sex (table as_05 Asylum, volume 2).

The latest data cover the calendar year 2017, available at:
