Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum cases are being processed by her Department in the City of Cambridge.

Our records indicate that the number of asylum cases awaiting a decision on their asylum claim at 30 June 2016 where the latest address is in a City of Cambridge postcode area was 15.

Notes

1. The data includes the number of asylum cases awaiting an asylum decision. A case may be for a single claimant or for more than one person (the main asylum claimant and their dependants).

2. The data relates to asylum cases where the claim was raised after 1 October 2006.

3. Cases awaiting a decision are those where there is no asylum decision outcome recorded against the case.

4. The data includes those cases where the claimant’s latest postcode begins with CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 or CB5.

5. The data has been compiled by identifying the latest valid postcode recorded for the main applicant on the Case Information Database (CID) on the day the data was extracted. This postcode is the most recently recorded postcode for correspondence purposes and may not represent the claimant’s place of residence.

6. Data extracted from CID on 13 October 2016. These statistics have been taken from a live operational database. As such numbers may change as information on that system is updated
