Written Question
Asylum: Deportation
Friday 24th November 2023

Asked by: Matthew Offord (Conservative - Hendon)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average length of time taken is for people whose asylum appeal has been rejected to (a) voluntarily leave and (b) be removed from the UK.

Answered by Robert Jenrick

The Home Office publishes data on returns and asylum in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’.

Data on asylum appeals lodged and determined (including those dismissed) by year are published in tables Asy_D06 and Asy_D07 of the ‘Asylum appeals lodged and determined detailed datasets’. The data are not broken down by how many people remain in a constituency followed a dismissed asylum appeal.

Data on asylum-related returns by year and return type are published in table Ret_05 of the ‘Returns summary tables’. The data are not broken down by the constituency the individual lived in prior to their return or whether the return followed a dismissed asylum appeal.
