Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum claimants issued with Notices of Intent have since been admitted for substantive consideration before the six month long-stop as a result of there being no reasonable prospect of removal.

The latest published Immigration Statistics detail the number of notices of intent issued and can be found online at:

How many people do we grant asylum or protection to? - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

A breakdown of these figures into nationality is not currently available however we are working to bring inadmissibility and nationality data in line with current reporting and hope to publish that information in the near future.

Timescales between inadmissibility decision points is fluid and continually evolving. Such data is not currently held in a reportable way and to gather it could only be achieved at a 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, as well as quality and availability of data. Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
