Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what proportion of applicants for support under section 4(2) of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, in the last year for which records are held, were asked to provide further information to support their request, broken down by the reason further information was required.

The information requested would require a manual trawl of records of all service users receiving section 4 support and could only be provided at a dis-proportionate cost.
