Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data her Department collects on the protected characteristics of asylum seekers arriving in the UK.

When an asylum seeker registers their asylum claim they will undergo an asylum screening interview. This interview includes questions about their personal details and their health and wellbeing. These include questions that relate to their age, their gender (sex), whether they are pregnant, if they have any disabilities, their race/ethnicity, their religion and if they have a partner.
