HL Deb 15 July 1998 vol 592 c35WA
Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Home Office makes available to immigration and asylum adjudicators the full information upon which appeals against decisions are based. [HL2663]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

Yes. The purpose of the reasons for refusal letters in asylum cases and the explanatory statement in immigration cases is to set out the basis on which the decision to refuse the application has been made and against which an appeal may be lodged.
