I can retrieve them for you - but some may have to wait until tomorrow.
We shouldnt confuse "applications" with the number actually granted asylum.
We need to bear in mind that of those seeking asylum a high proportion leave the UK to either return to their own or other countries.
Asylum is not the same as refuge: refuge is temporary -
Facefuzz [bluddy Matelots] - get a decent shave - heres a few figures to chew on.
Its online, but tedious wading throw piles of figures.....
5.1 Immigration detention
The number of people entering detention in the year ending March 2020 (23,075) was 5% less than the previous year. This continues a general downward trend since 2015.
As at 31 March 2020, there were 895 people in immigration detention, down from 1,637 as the end of December 2019 and less than half the number as at 31 March 2019 (1,839).
In the year ending March 2020, 23,942 people left the detention estate (down 5%), a similar number to those entering. Almost two-fifths (38%) had been detained for 7 days or less, and three-quarters (74%) detained for 28 days or less. There has been an increase in the proportion of people leaving detention within 28 days, from 69% in 2018 to 74% in the year ending March 2020.
5.2 Returns
In the year ending March 2020, enforced returns from the UK decreased to 6,778, 21% lower than the previous year and the lowest number since records began in 2004. The fall was largely accounted for by the fall in enforced returns of people who were in detention prior to their return (down 19% to 4,644).
Over the same period, there were 10,421 voluntary departures. Although these data are not directly comparable over time (as voluntary returns are subject to upward revision, as in some cases it can take time to identify people who have left the UK without informing the Home Office) the numbers recorded have fallen since 2015.
