Statistics on the location of asylum seekers in the UK are linked to the available information on those asylum seekers who are in receipt of support. The number 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 June 2007, there were 435 asylum seekers supported in accommodation and 50 in receipt of subsistence only support in Sandwell. These figures exclude any asylum seekers who may be living in Sandwell but are not receiving support, for whom figures are not held.
The number 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:

Further breakdowns, of those in receipt of support by parliamentary constituency, are also available from the Library of the House.
