    Home Office asylum statistics show that there were, on average, 2,550 asylum applications by Iranian nationals each year in the period 2008-2017. Of these, an average of 925 - or 37% - were rejected, including after appeal, each year.

    On average, there were only 81 enforced removals of Iranian nationals with no right to be in the UK each year, while there were also an average of 101 voluntary departures, so 182 in total.

    However the removal/departure figure for the most recent five years is even lower, averaging at just over 100 per year.

    With a 95% chance of staying on in the UK over the past five years it is hardly a surprise that Iranian nationals are willing to take a chance crossing the Channel to enter the UK clandestinely.
