answer text

The Home office is unable to state how many asylum seekers have been granted and refused permission to work since 2019 as they do not record data on the number of asylum seekers who have been permitted to work in a reportable format. Those who have claimed asylum in the UK and have had their asylum claim outstanding for 12 months or more, through no fault of their own, are able to apply for permission to work. Those permitted to work are restricted to jobs on the Shortage Occupation List, which is based on expert advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee.
