The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if she will publish decisions of the First-tier Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber on the same basis that decisions of the Upper Tribunal are currently published.

Answered by Heidi Alexander

The decision whether to publish a judgment is a judicial one.

Currently, judgments of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal are not routinely published. However, members of the public and the media can apply to the tribunal for a copy of the judgment in a specific case.
