Asked by Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the number of illegal immigrants in the UK has increased or decreased since 4 July 2024.
Answer
Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint, 1 Jul 2025
By its very nature, it is not possible to know the exact size of the illegal migrant population in the UK, and so the Home Office under successive governments has not been able to publish any official estimates of that population.
