Updated 'How many people do we grant protection to?' to second edition. A revision has been made to the data on asylum seekers receiving support, following a review of accommodation type during the transition to new reporting systems. The main categories affected are those in initial accommodation (revised downwards) and in hotels (revised upwards). Some corrections have also been necessary to the stated geographical distribution of the supported population. The total number of people on support remains unchanged. This revision affects asylum tables Asy_D09, Asy_D11, asylum summary table Asy_07e, and the Regional and local authority datasets.
