Mr. Malins: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how may applications for asylum from Iraq were received in the
first two quarters of 2002; how many were rejected; how many are subject to appeal; and how many removals have taken place. [75412]
Beverley Hughes: The table shows the number of applications received in the United Kingdom, excluding dependants, and initial
decisions1,2,p of Iraqi nationals for the first two quarters of 2002.

Notes: 1 Figures rounded to the nearest five. 2 Decision figures do not necessarily relate to applications received in the same
period. p Provisional figures
Data on initial decisions are independent of applications data, and do not all necessarily relate to applications lodged in the same
period.
There are no data available on asylum appeals lodged by nationality. The requested information could be obtained only at
disproportionate cost by examination of individual case records.
In the first quarter (January to March) of 2002, an estimated 35 Iraqi principal asylum applicants were removed. This includes
persons departing ``voluntarily'' after enforcement action had been initiated against them and persons leaving under Assisted
Voluntary Return Programmes run by the International organisation for migration (IOM), and excludes dependants.
Data on removals by nationality in the second quarter of 2002 are not yet available. This information will be published on 29
November on the Home Office Research, Development and Statistics Directorate website at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/

Mr. Malins: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many applications for asylum were made in each of the last 12
months by (a) Afghans, (b) Sri Lankans, (c) Somalians and (d) Iraqi Kurds; what proportion were (i) granted and (ii) refused; what
proportion were granted exceptional leave to remain; and what proportion have been removed. [14022]
Angela Eagle: The latest available information is provided in the table and relates to the number of applications and initial
decisions made under normal procedures for principal applicants. Data on initial decisions are independent of applications data, and
do not necessarily relate to applications lodged in the same period. Information on Iraqi Kurds is not available.
Following the initial decision, applicants have a right of appeal to the Immigration Appellate Authority.
Reliable information on the proportion of those refused asylum or exceptional leave to remain in the latest 12 months who were
subsequently removed is not available. Information on the nationality of persons removed is not available due to data recording
problems.
Information on asylum applications and initial decisions is published regularly in the annual statistical bulletin "Asylum
Statistics United Kingdom", a copy of which is available in the Library, and from the RDS website:
