Donate to our crowdfunderHome Department written question – answered on 11th September 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department
(1) in how many cases asylum was granted on the grounds of the risk of female genital mutilation in each year since 2010;
(2) in how many cases asylum was applied for on the basis of the risk of female genital mutilation but subsequently rejected since 2010.
holding answer
The Home Office does not routinely record, on its Case Information Database, information about the grounds on which asylum is claimed. The information requested could be obtained only by a manual search of the files of all asylum claims from women since 2010 and this could be achieved only at a disproportionate cost.
