Immigration: Appeals

Asked by Nick TimothyConservativeMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 17 June 2026UIN 9151

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the trialling of artificial intelligence in Immigration and Asylum Tribunals that will allow judges to transcribe case notes and alleviate admin pressures, to confirm whether it will be used in tribunals involving sex offenders.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

The application can be used by judges on all immigration and asylum appeals including those where the appellant may also be a foreign national offender. Use of the application may enable judges to produce decisions with greater efficiency using AI speech to text for dictating case notes only.
