The Home Office does not hold any data on specific asylum claims from the Rohingya community as data is only held and published at the nationality level.

However, the UK has been at the forefront of international efforts to support Rohingya refugees having contributed £406 million to the response in Bangladesh since 2017, as well as providing over £48 million to supporting the Rohingya and other Muslim minorities in Rakhine state, Myanmar.”
