Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their policy regarding the deportation of LGBT asylum seekers to Brunei.

We have not formed a general position on asylum seekers from Brunei because we had, as at the end of 2018, received no claims since at least 2001.

However, all asylum and human rights claims are carefully considered on their individual merits in accordance with our international obligations.

Each individual assessment is made against the background of the latest available country of origin information and any relevant caselaw. Asylum decision makers also have access to an information request service for specific enquiries to deal with particular issues raised in individual claims.

Guidance on how we consider claims based on sexual orientation more generally is available on the Gov.UK website.
