Asylum: Applications

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has approved any asylum applications without a Watchlist and Information Control Unit check being carried out in the last ten years.

Answer

We do not comment on security matters, however all asylum claimants are subject to robust, mandatory security checks and we will not compromise the integrity of the UK immigration system. These system and security database checks are completed during the asylum screening process and before a decision is made.
