Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for a refugee integration loan have been (a) made, (b) accepted and (c) refused in each of the last five years.
Years | No. Applications received | No. Applications paid | Total value of loans | Mean value |
2011/12 | 2552 | 1766 | £814,551 | £461 |
2012/13 | 2125 | 1451 | £553,685 | £382 |
2013/14 | 2205 | 1506 | £619,330 | £388 |
2014/15 | 2534 | 1457 | £704,409 | £483 |
2015/16 | 3971 | 2525 | £1,216,095 | £482 |
This is taken from local records and not from officially published statistics and it is therefore provisional and subject to change. It has not been assured under Office for National Statistics standards
We do not hold official statistics or local management information on the number of applications refused but the difference between the number of loans applications made and those paid is indicative of the number of applications that were not granted a loan either because the applicant was not eligible to receive a loan, did not demonstrate a need for a loan, or did not provide the required information to consider their loan application.
