<p>The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release"
target="_blank">Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release</a>’. Data on asylum applications
can be found in table Asy_D01 of the ‘<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/asylum-and-resettlement-datasets#asylum-applications-decisions-and-resettlement"
target="_blank">asylum and resettlement detailed datasets</a>’.</p><p>The Home Office
does not publish asylum applicants by religion. Whilst we hold information regarding
the religion of asylum claimants, this information could only be obtained at disproportionate
cost as it would require a manual trawl of case records to retrieve.</p><p>A claimant’s
religion will be established during the asylum registration process. Depending on
the nature of the claim, further information regarding a claimant’s religion may be
requested during a substantive asylum interview.</p><p>For further information, please
