Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of trends in the level of successful asylum appeals since 2015.

Her Majesty’s Courts & Tribunals Service data on appeals can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tribunals-and-gender-recognition-certificate-statistics-quarterly-october-to-december-2017

The Home Office reviews all allowed appeals to ensure that learning is used to inform decision making. These reviews show that appeals are allowed for a variety of reasons, often because of new evidence presented before the tribunal which was not available to the decision maker at the time.
