Home Office written question – answered at on 29 June 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many refugees from each country have been accepted by the UK in each of the last five years.
Refugee status is conferred following a grant of asylum. An asylum seeker only becomes a refugee once asylum has been granted. Not all asylum seekers are deemed to be refugees and not all refugees claim asylum. The Home Office publishes annual and quarterly statistics on grants of asylum, humanitarian protection, discretionary leave and other grants at initial decision, to main applicants and dependants. The information, broken down by year of application and nationality is available on Table as_02 of the latest release ‘Immigration Statistics, January – March 2015’.
