Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the paper entitled Understanding asylum seeker and asylum-route refugee vulnerabilities, needs, and support (2022), published on 22 May 2025, what assessment she has made of the potential implication for her policies of the statement in that paper's Executive Summary that there is widespread evidence that the asylum system exacerbates and creates, rather than alleviates, vulnerabilities for people seeking asylum.

The Home Office keeps all aspects of the immigration and asylum system under review, taking into account a wide range of research and evidence, as well as consultation with relevant experts and stakeholders.
