Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many referrals have been accepted by the National Age Assessment Board; and what proportion of these referrals were from (a) local authorities and (b) her Department.

The requested data is not part of published statistics, and could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

Official statistics published by the Home Office are kept under review in line with the code of practice for statistics, taking into account a number of factors including user needs, the resources required to compile the statistics, as well as quality and availability of data.
