Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 8 November 2017 to Question 110788, on asylum, for what reasons there were differences between this Answer and the Answer of 29 June 2017 to Question 106 to the hon. Member for Glasgow East; and if she will make a statement.
The answer given on 29 June 2017 triangulated data held for different reasons to provide a number using a range of assumptions. To maintain the highest standards of accuracy the Home Office has come to the view that the methodology used to come to the figure provided does not fully answer the question and providing a full answer could only be done at disproportionate cost.
