Asylum: Sudan
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 10 March 2026 to Question 119435 on Asylum: Sudan, how many of those who claimed asylum were Chevening Scholars.
Answered by Mike Tapp
The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. Available data on asylum claims linked to study visas for Sudan is referenced in the answer to Question 119435.
The requested information on asylum claims from Chevening scholars is not available from published statistics.
Official statistics published by the Home Office are kept under review in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics, taking into account a number of factors including user needs, the resources required to compile the statistics, as well as quality and availability of data. These reviews allow us to balance the production of our regular statistics whilst developing new statistics for future release.
