Written Question
Asylum
Tuesday 2nd December 2014

Asked by: William Bain (Labour - Glasgow North East)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum seekers who have been granted permission to work, where the claimant has waited more than 12 months for an initial decision on their asylum claims for asylum-based further submissions, are recorded as having subsequently secured employment in each of the last three years.

Answered by James Brokenshire

The information requested by the Honourable Member is not centrally recorded and as such could only be answered with data collated through a disproportionately expensive manual search of individual case files.
