The Home Office publishes data, in its quarterly Immigration Statistics re-lease, on the number of applications for asylum in the UK, broken down by nationality for each quarter, in table as_01_q (Asylum, volume 1), and data on the number of applications granted asylum (as well as other forms of leave) at initial decision in the same table.

The latest edition covering up to the end of March 2019 is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-march-2019/list-of-tables

The next update to these statistics will be published on 22nd August, and will cover the period to end of June 2019.
