Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether warning letters sent to her Department by asylum accommodation providers are considered during the asylum application process.

Warning letters are provided where there has been a breach in the conditions of asylum support. They are not taken into consideration during the substantive asylum application process because they bear no relevance to the substance of the claim.

Asylum support is provided on the basis that a supported person and any dependants they have adhere to the terms and conditions attached to it. A breach of the conditions of support may also lead an early suspension or discontinuation of support depending on the severity of the breach. Full details of the conditions of support can be found in the policy guidance on gov.uk. Conditions of support: caseworker guidance - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
