Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Departments correspondence with the Hon. Member for Liverpool Walton, reference MPAM/0465470/22, for what reasons her Department did not reach a decision on the asylum case by 16 November 2022.

The Home Office does not comment on individual cases.

There are many factors that can delay and contribute to the length of time to process asylum claims. It is right we take time to work through them carefully.

Our teams are actively working to progress all asylum claims and endeavour to have decisions delivered as quickly as possible.
