HC Deb 19 January 2004 vol 416 c1063W
Tim Loughton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many asylum seekers have arrived at Gatwick airport in each of the last three years claiming to be minors and without identity documents. [144998]

Beverley Hughes

I have been asked to reply.

Data on the number of asylum seekers without documentation claiming to be minors that arrive at specific ports of entry are not recorded and collated centrally. This information could therefore be obtained only from individual case files at disproportionate cost.

Information on asylum statistics is published quarterly on the Home Office website at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/immigrationl.html.
