Written question asked by Rupert Lowe (Reform UK) on Thursday, 16 January 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 20 January 2025. It was answered by Angela Eagle (Labour) on Wednesday, 22 January 2025 on behalf of the Home Office.
Asylum: Interviews
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of asylum casework interviews are conducted remotely.
- Answer
-
Most asylum interviews are now conducted remotely using video conference facilities outside of Home Office locations.
This has enabled the Home Office to increase the availability of interview locations, interpreters and decision makers, and often reduce travel requirements for claimants, enabling the department to progress cases in a more efficient and cost-effective way.
Further information regarding the conduct of asylum interviews is available on gov.uk at: Conducting asylum interviews: caseworker guidance - GOV.UK.
