Information on the UK’s resident population is a matter for the Office for National Statistics. The Home Office does not publish estimates on the number of asylum seekers currently living in the UK.

The Home Office does however publish quarterly breakdowns of the number of asylum applications pending a decision (including dependants), in table as_02_q (asylum, volume 2) of the quarterly Immigration Statistics release.
