Statistics on the location of asylum seekers in the UK are linked to the available information on the support that the asylum seeker receives. The numbers of asylum seekers in receipt of support are available broken down by Government office region, local authority and Parliamentary constituency.
As at the end of March 2007 there were fewer than three asylum seekers receiving support in York. This figure excludes any asylum seekers who may be living in York but are not receiving support.
The numbers of asylum seekers in receipt of support, 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
http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/immigration1.html.
Further breakdowns, of those in receipt of support by parliamentary constituency, are also available from the Library of the House.
