Asylum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of asylum claims were rejected under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 in each of the last five years.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’.
Data on asylum claims certified under Section 94 is published in table Asy_D08 of the ‘Asylum applications, initial decisions and resettlement detailed datasets’.
Data on initial decisions and outcomes on asylum claims, including implicit withdrawals (which can result from non-attendance at a reporting event or interview), is published in table Asy_D02 of the ‘Asylum applications, initial decisions and resettlement detailed datasets’.
Information on how to use the datasets can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbooks.
