<p>The table below shows the total number of asylum applications received in each
year since 2010, and the proportion of asylum applicants in the first instance that
were (1)(i) granted asylum, (ii) granted Humanitarian Protection, Discretionary Leave
or Other Grants, and after some form of appeal were (2)(i) granted asylum, (ii) granted
Humanitarian Protection, Discretionary Leave or Other Grants, as at May 2013 when
the statistics were compiled.<br><br>Figures for 2013 will be published at the end
of August 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="7"><strong>Proportion

of the outcomes of asylum applications are the recorded outcomes of the group (or

of routes that an asylum application can take to a final asylum outcome. As a consequence,
analysis of the outcomes of asylum applications in any one year requires interpretation
for a small percentage of cases. This interpretation is undertaken consistently by
established computer code. The proportions and underlying figures for final outcomes
of the analysis of applications for the group (or cohort) of applicants in any one
year, are therefore estimated.</p><p>The Home Office publishes statistics on the outcome
