Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent estimate her Department has made of the number of unaccompanied child migrants that have crossed the English channel from France and subsequently been granted asylum in the UK in each year since 2016.

The Home Office does not routinely publish breakdowns of asylum claims by method of arrival to the UK.

However, the Home Office does publish data on Initial decision on asylum applications from unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC), by outcome. This data can be found at Asy_02b, of the published Immigration Statistics, year ending December 2019, published on 27 February 2020:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-december-2019/list-of-tables#asylum-and-resettlement

However, this data is not yet published for the period up to March 2020.
