Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many of the additional Asylum Intake Units set up during the covid-19 pandemic remain open.
This question was answered on 13th December 2022
Following measures introduced by Her Majesty’s Government in response to COVID-19, it was necessary for the Home Office to stand up regional and national units to fulfil its statutory requirement to register asylum claims. In addition to Croydon and Glasgow, it established five offices in Belfast, Liverpool, Leeds, Solihull and Cardiff which accept in-country asylum claims and all remain open.
