Home Office written question – answered at on 24 March 2015.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps have been taken to ensure that statistical data concerning asylum claims made on grounds of sexual identity are accurately recorded, as recommended by the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration, John Vine, in his investigation into the Home Office’s handling of asylum claims made on the grounds of sexual orientation, published in October 2014; and when such data will be released.
Information on the basis of an asylum claim is not usually recorded but the Home Office has made arrangements to record this data for cases made on the basis of sexuality on our Case Information Database. This process still requires significant further development. Once we are satisfied with the quality of the data we will be in a position to release this.
