Asylum: Bassetlaw

Volume 461: debated on Wednesday 20 June 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many asylum seekers are living in Bassetlaw constituency. (138823)

Statistics on the location of asylum seekers in the UK are linked to the available information on the support that the asylum seeker receives.

As at the end of March 2007, there were no asylum seekers recorded as receiving asylum support in the Bassetlaw constituency. This figure excludes those asylum seekers who are living in the Bassetlaw constituency but are not receiving support from Border and Immigration Agency.

The numbers of asylum seekers in receipt of support from Border and Immigration Agency, broken down by Government office region and local authority, are published on a quarterly and annual basis. Copies of these publications are available from the Library of the House and from the Home Office Research, Development and Statistics website at:

Further breakdowns of those in receipt of support from Border and Immigration Agency by parliamentary constituency are also available from the Library of the House.
