Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many further submissions relating to asylum applications were accepted as fresh claims in each year in 2014.

The Home Office publish data on the number of fresh claims in table as_01 (asylum, volume 1) of the quarterly Immigration Statistics - https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release publication. The latest release covering the year ending December 2018 can be found https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-year-ending-december-2018

The figures are also provided below from the latest publication for ease of reference. Please note these totals are not a subset of the information included in response to UIN 255321.

Home Office statisticians have identified some data issues with the published time series on fresh claims, which suggest the figures are undercounting the total number of fresh claims. Work is ongoing to better understand the nature of these issues. As a result it is likely the data will be revised once the issues are resolved.
