Please note that the November 2021 figure of 1,640 people provided for the Parliamentary Question 466 of 14 December 2021 was provisional. It was given as an overall estimate for November and the full figure for November had not been finalised. The final figure for November 2021 was 1,636 people with a status or a permission to remain in IPAS accommodation.

The Deputy will find a break down by length of time, in the format requested, set out in the table below. It should be noted that some persons may not have been in International Protection Application Service (IPAS) accommodation for the full length of time noted below as they may have left their accommodation at points for various reasons and then applied to return.

7 – 12 months 72
