Asylum: Chagossians

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 27 April 2026UIN 128035

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if her department has kept records of complaints made by Chagossian asylum seekers fleeing Mauritius and applying for asylum in the United Kingdom in the last 10 years.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office records all complaints received. However, complaints are not routinely categorised or collated by the specific criteria requested, and the information is therefore not held.
