Data on initial decisions of asylum claims, by the date of the decision, is published in table Asy_D02 of the ‘Asylum claims and initial decisions detailed datasets’. Data on initial decisions of asylum claims from small boat arrivals, by the date of arrival, is published in table Irr_D03 of the ‘Irregular migration to the UK detailed tables’ and by the date of decision in asylum summary tables Asy_02c and Asy_02d.

Question to the Home Office:

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 Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)

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.
