Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many inadmissibility decisions based on the concept of first country of asylum were made by the UK in 2018 by country designated as first country of asylum.

The UK is committed to providing protection to those who need it, in accordance with its international obligations.

Information regarding how many inadmissible decisions based on the concept of first country of asylum made by the UK in 2018 by country designated as first country of asylum is not recorded and held in a reportable format.

This could only be obtained at disproportionate costs.
