Written Question
Asylum: Appeals
Thursday 2nd December 2021

Asked by: Lord Brabazon of Tara (Conservative - Excepted Hereditary)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask Her Majesty's Government (1) how many, and (2) what proportion of, asylum appeals were successful due to the absence of a Home Office legal representative at the appeals tribunal.

Answered by Lord Wolfson of Tredegar

Information on Home Office attendance at Immigration & Asylum Tribunal hearings is not collated centrally by HM Courts and Tribunals Service. Any decision to allow an Asylum appeal is made by a Judge based on the merits of each case.
