Religion of irregular arrivals — Not collected or published by the Home Office. The figure is published by Home Office.
Home Office publishes this quarterly, with the immigration system statistics release. UKStats shows the figure exactly as published and never estimates values between releases.
Checked against the current Home Office release "Illegal entry routes to the UK summary tables" (Year ending June 2026), which publishes nationality, age group and sex only. No religion is collected or released for detected irregular arrivals, so no figure is shown here rather than an estimate. This check runs on every refresh and the card will populate if the Home Office starts publishing it.
Methodology
Home Office — original publicationUKStats reproduces the published figure exactly; the publisher's own methodology notes are the authoritative description of how it is compiled.
