What ministers are being asked

The 200 most recently answered written parliamentary questions on asylum, small boats and immigration enforcement — refreshed weekly from the UK Parliament API.

Across these 200 questions the median time from tabling to answer was 9 days, and 43 of the 200 that carry a date for the answer were answered on or before it.

Questions are questions
A written question is an assertion or request by a member of Parliament, not a finding of fact — a premise in a question is the member's, not this site's and not the government's. Each entry links the official record, which carries the government's answer in full.
What these counts measure
Every figure on this page is computed from the 200 questions listed below and nothing else. They were selected by topic — asylum, small boats, deportation, immigration enforcement and accommodation — and answered between 8 September 2026 and 18 September 2026. That means these are not a measure of any department's overall performance on written questions: the Home Office answers thousands more that are not about immigration, and none of those are here.

Answered by the date given for the answer

Every written question carries a date for its answer in the official record. On a named day question the member specifies that date; otherwise it is the date the House works to — in this set a median of 5 days after tabling in the Commons and 14 in the Lords. Comparing it with the date answered compares two fields of the same official record.

A date passing is not by itself a failure: answers are held, corrected and grouped, and recess interrupts everything. This site does not describe a late answer as a breach of anything — it reports the two dates the record publishes.
