Notes
- Subsistence only is cash support without accommodation from the Home Office.
- People, dependants included, receiving the Home Office's support under sections 95, 98 and 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 on the last day of the quarter, placed in the council of their last recorded address. Unaccompanied children seeking asylum and care leavers are not included. The figures change daily, and some people will have moved since.
- The Home Office builds this table from local management information and calls it provisional. Every figure here equals its official statistics of asylum support by council (Asy_D11) for the same day, which the hub checks. The same table's Homes for Ukraine and Afghan Resettlement Programme figures, which nothing outside the Home Office's own management information checks, are not shown.
