Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many notice of intent letters have been sent to applicants for humanitarian protection in the last six months.

The latest published Immigration Statistics detail the number of individuals being managed under inadmissibility rules and can be found online at How many people do we grant protection to? - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

As set out in the Immigration Rules, claims for humanitarian protection are treated firstly as applications for asylum and published figures do not therefore distinguish applications made specifically for humanitarian protection. Such information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
