Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many claimants have had their asylum claim rejected in each month since May 2010.

The Home Office publishes data on asylum initial decisions in Table as_01q (Asylum data tables Volume 1) of the quarterly Immigration Statistics release.

A copy of the latest release, Immigration Statistics April – June 2015, is available from:

Initial decisions do not necessarily relate to applications made in the same period and exclude the outcome of appeals or other subsequent decisions.
