Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum decisions relating to applicants from Afghanistan are awaiting a decision.

The Home Office publishes data on asylum in the ‘Immigration Statistics Quarterly Release’. Data on asylum applications awaiting an initial decision, by nationality, are published in table ASY_D03 of the ‘asylum and resettlement detailed datasets’. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates to the end of September 2021.

Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
