Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many claims for asylum were suspended in each month between September and December 2023.

Data on the outcomes of asylum claims, including grants, refusals and withdrawals, is published in table Asy_D02 of the ‘Asylum applications, decisions and resettlement detailed datasets’. Information on how to use the dataset can be found in the ‘Notes’ page of the workbook. The latest data relates to the year ending September 2023. Data up to the end of 2023 will be published on 29 February 2024.
