§ Mr. Alex CarlileTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many people have been granted asylum on appeal in each of the last 20 years. [4038]
§ Mr. KirkhopeInformation for 1994 on the outcome of appeals of people who had been refused asylum—including those initially granted exceptional leave to remain—is given in table 8.3 of the Home Office Statistical Bulletin "Asylum Statistics United Kingdom 1994", issue 15/95. A copy of this publication is available in the Library.
Not all people whose appeals are allowed or referred back to the Secretary of State are granted asylum; some appeals allowed by adjudicators are reversed by the tribunal and others which were dismissed are subsequently granted asylum or exceptional leave to remain.
245WApproximately 100 people are estimated to have been granted asylum after appeal in 1994. Information prior to 1994 is not available.
