Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many people are in receipt of support under section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 because they have applied for a judicial review of their asylum application and have been given permission to proceed.

At the end of December 2014, Home Office records indicate there were 212 people who were successful in their application for support under Section 4 because they had applied for a judicial review of their asylum application and were given permission to proceed. Please note that individuals may since have transitioned onto the receipt of section 4 support for a different reason, however this information is not centrally recorded.
