Written question asked by Anne Main (Conservative) on Tuesday, 30 March 2010, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It was answered by Phil Woolas (Labour) on Wednesday, 7 April 2010 on behalf of the Home Office.


Asylum

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications for asylum under consideration by the UK Border Agency were received before the introduction of his Department's new asylum model.
Answer

The Agency is unable to accurately report on the outstanding asylum cases being dealt with by the Case Resolution Directorate (CRD). As reported in February 2010 to the Home Affairs Select Committee, 52 per cent. of the concluded cases were data errors and required no further action. Therefore, any such report would be unable to accurately represent CRD cases with outstanding applications.
