an asylum claim at some stage prior or during detention. This will include asylum
seekers whose asylum claims have been refused, and who have exhausted any rights of
appeal, those returned under third country provisions, as well as those granted asylum/protection,
but detained for other reasons (such as criminality).</p><p>Figures on people in detention
and leaving detention at the end of September 2022 will be published on 24 November
2022. Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in
