Illegal entry routes summary: previous data tables

The Immigration system statistics release has adopted the term 'illegal entry routes' when referring to the act of entering into the UK unlawfully. Some individuals entering via illegal routes may go on to claim asylum, regularise their status in the UK, or be found to have been a victim of modern slavery. This change affects terminology only and does not alter the underlying data.
