Question
Will the Minister confirm how many refugees and asylum seekers have settled in Wales since the introduction of the Nation of Sanctuary plan in 2019?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip
The Home Office is responsible for all matters relating to asylum and immigration policy; this includes determining where those awaiting an asylum decision are accommodated.
The UK Government publishes statistics on asylum and resettlement on a quarterly basis. The UK Government does not share statistics on arrivals or resettlement with the Welsh Government.
The latest statistics and information can be found on the UK Government’s website Asylum and resettlement datasets - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
