Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what criteria they use to determine whether it is safe to deport LGBT asylum seekers to Malaysia.

All asylum and human rights claims are carefully considered on their individual merits in accordance with our international obligations. Each individual assessment is made against the background of the latest available country of origin information and any relevant caselaw.

Guidance on how the Home Office considers claims from Malaysian nationals, and how we consider claims based on sexual orientation more generally, is available on the Gov.UK website.
