PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Asylum (11 September 2020)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) people and (b) dependents of people who have had an application for asylum rejected are (i) housed and (ii) receive payments under Section 95 and Section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.

Sir John Hayes (Conservative)

Figures outlining the number of people supported are published as part of the Home Office transparency data https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/asylum-and-resettlement-datasets#asylum-support

These figures are not broken down into those that have had their asylum claim rejected or the number of people in each household. This information is not readily accessible and would require a manual search.
