In the 12 months to September 2022, 85% of Albanians who arrived by small boats - 7,219 people - submitted asylum applications.
Only 50 of them (0.7%) have received an initial decision on their application and none of them were granted refugee status or another type of leave to remain.
In general, 53% of claims by Albanians are accepted. Most are by women and children.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) has said some Albanian migrants falsely claim to be victims of trafficking, using standard letters to apply for help. Albanians are the most commonly referred nationality for trafficking support in the UK.
Other Albanian migrants simply disappear and work illegally in the UK, before returning home, according to Mr O'Mahoney.
Albanians can apply to enter the UK with a visa for tourism, business or study.
In the first nine months of 2022, the UK received 24,102 visa applications from Albanian citizens and granted 16,084 of them, according to Home Office figures - only 325 of them were work visas

Very recently for some reason BBC decided to enlighten (prepare) you about the country of Albania. Asylum seekers isn't the right word for people who come from this place.
