Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers are resident in Glasgow East constituency.

The Home Office publishes quarterly figures on the number of asylum seekers housed in dispersed accommodation, including under Section 95 and Section 4, by local authority in the Immigration Statistics release, in table as_16q and 17q in volume 4 of the Asylum data tables. These are available at:

The figures can not be broken down into individual constituencies, however there were 3982 asylum seekers supported under section 95 accommodated in Glasgow in June 2019. There are additional asylum seekers housed in Glasgow and supported by section 4 support. Figures for section 4 support are only available for the United Kingdom (available in link above).
