Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Murray of Blidworth on 9 November (HL2956), whether they will now provide up-to-date figures on the total number of migrants calculated to have reached the UK by boat from France for each of the last three months, broken down by (1) the estimated number of those of Albanian origin, and (2) the number of those of Albanian origin who are single men.

The Home Office have previously answered a very similar question in UIN HL2956 on 9 November 2022.

Data on small boat arrivals up to the end of September 2022 will be published on 24th November at Gov.UK in the ‘Irregular migration to the UK statistics’ quarterly report.

Further information on small boat crossings, with a focus on Albanian nationals, is available in a recently published one-off factsheet at Gov.UK, titled ‘Small boat crossings since July 2022.
