Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to table Asy_09a of the Asylum and Resettlement Summary tables for the year ending March 2023, for what reasons there was an increase in the number of asylum applications admitted into the UK’s asylum process having previously been considered potentially inadmissible in the first quarter of 2023.

The Home Office does not routinely record reasons why each individual was admitted to the UK asylum process and this information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
