Asylum: Northern Ireland

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether Northern Ireland-specific performance data are collected under(a) the Asylum Accommodation and Support Contracts and (b) the Advice, Issue Reporting and Eligibility contract.

Answer

The Home Office receives KPI performance data for AASC in Northern Ireland. This is sent in monthly by the provider for analysis as well as other data the Home Office acquires from other sources such as the AIRE data, property inspections, customer feedback etc. This data is commercially sensitive and would not be shared.

AIRE is a national contract and performance data covers the whole contract and is not analysed regionally. As with the AASC contracts, AIRE performance data is received monthly for analysis.
