Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers have been granted permission to work where the claimant has waited more than 12 months for an initial decision on their asylum claim or asylum-based further submissions in each of the last three years.

The information requested by the Honourable Member is not centrally recorded and as such could only be answered with data collated through a disproportionately expensive manual search of individual case files.
