Asylum: Sudan
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has reviewed the reasons for Sudanese children forming the largest group of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in 2024-25.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
Asylum claims from unaccompanied Sudanese children fell in the year ending March 2025, but they were the largest group of UASC in that period due to a decrease in asylum claims from the previous top UASC nationality of Afghanistan.
The Home Office keeps all trends in asylum claims under review, including those from unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC).
