The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the merits of the further submissions criteria in the asylum system.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

All Further submissions must be considered in line with the UK’s obligations to assess whether the additional evidence means that an individual requires protection.

We aim to deal with further submission claims quickly so that there is no incentive to lodge spurious claims to frustrate removal.
