On 20 July 2023, the Illegal Migration Bill received Royal Assent and will now be known as the Illegal Migration Act 2023.
This page presents immigration statistics from Home Office administrative sources of relevance to the Illegal Migration Act. This includes data relating to:
- small boats
- the asylum backlog
- asylum seekers on support
- asylum decision makers and headcount
- asylum decisions and interviews
- enforcement activities
These statistics were initially published on 24 April 2023 to support the parliamentary debate on the Illegal Migration Act. They have been subsequently updated as ad hoc statistics, with the latest data going up to 21 April 2024 (where available).
Further, regular, monthly updates to these statistics will be included here, published by the Home Office. Migration analysis, statistics and research are found at Migration analysis at the Home Office
If you have any questions about the data, please contact? MigrationStatsEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk.
