Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many asylum support applications are processed within the Government's target times.

The Government has a range of targets for processing support applications depending on the nature of the application being made. We have processed at least 95% of applications within the targets this financial year, this includes the initial processing of applications that we have considered and have asked the applicant to provide more information to allow us to make a decision.
