Asylum backlog rises to record high, official figures show
The number of people in the UK waiting for a decision on their asylum claims has risen to a record high, latest Home Office figures show.
More than 175,000 people were waiting for a decision on whether they will be granted refugee status at the end of June 2023 - up 44% from last year.
In December 2022, PM Rishi Sunak set a target of clearing the so-called legacy backlog by the end of the year. Officials have cleared on average 2,061 cases a month since then. With 67,870 cases remaining, the Home Office will have to process 11,311 cases per month if it is to meet its target.
The legacy backlog refers to the asylum applications lodged before June 2022. The number of cases awaiting decision refers to main claimants, while the number of people also includes any family members or other dependents.
