§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what statistics he keeps on the reasons for refusal of asylum cases; and if he will publish these, including the number of refusals on the ground of multiple applications.
§ Mr. Charles WardleThe main statistics available are of refusals after determination of the claim to refugee status, those on safe third country grounds and those under paragraph 101 of the immigration rules.
