The Home Office publishes statistics on small boat arrivals to the UK in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on detected irregular arrivals by method of entry and nationality is published in table Irr_D01 of the ‘Irregular migration to the UK detailed datasets’ with the latest data up to the end of September 2024. Data up to the end of December 2024 is due to be published on 27 February 2025.

Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook.
