Written Question
Tuesday 5th June 2018
Asked by:
Mohammad Yasin (Labour - Bedford)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when his Department's process of sending voluntary withdrawal forms to asylum-seeking minors was introduced; when his Department has reviewed that process; and how many minors have been sent such forms since the introduction of that policy.
Answered by Caroline Nokes
The issuing of voluntary withdrawal forms was part of a standard template introduced in April 2015 that was issued to all asylum claimants when they were notified that their asylum claim was not a straightforward claim and therefore a decision would be delayed. This process was reviewed in early 2018 and the decision taken not to issue the form to asylum claims made by minors.
We do not hold data on the number of forms issued.

Written Question
Wednesday 17th January 2018
Asked by:
Mohammad Yasin (Labour - Bedford)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many cessation of international protection (Articles 11 and 17 Directive 2011/95/EU) decisions were made by the UK in response to asylum applications in 2017; and how many cessation of international protection decisions were made by the UK in 2017 by nationality of applicant.
Answered by Caroline Nokes
We have a proud history of providing protection to those who need it, for as long as it is needed, in accordance with our international obligations under the Refugee Convention. However, refugee status is not necessarily permanent and it may be appropriate to revoke such status where it is clear someone no longer needs protection; where evidence emerges that status was obtained by deception; or where someone commits a serious crime and is a danger to the community or represents a threat to national security.
