Mr. Simon Hughes: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many and what proportion of asylum appeals determined
were (a) allowed, (b) dismissed and (c) withdrawn for nationals of (i) Iraq, (ii) Somalia, (iii) Sri Lanka, (iv) Sudan, (v) Turkey,
(vi) Zimbabwe and (vii) each other nationality for the last 12 months for which figures are available; and if he will make a
statement. [160802]
Mrs. Roche: Asylum appeal figures by nationality for 1999 and 2000 are not available as the Immigration Appellate Authority ceased
to produce them. We hope to be able to publish this information for the 2001 asylum statistics and beyond. The most recent figures
refer to 1998 and are published in the Home Office Statistical Bulletin "Asylum Statistics 1998", a copy of which is available in
the Library. The information is given in the table.

Mr. Coleman: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what percentage of asylum refusals from applicants from (a)
Somalia, (b) Sudan, (c) Iraq, (d) Sri Lanka, (e) Congo and (f) Iran have been refused because of non-compliance in each of the last
six months; and if he will make a statement. [155596]
Mrs. Roche: A non-compliance refusal is generated when the applicant fails without reasonable explanation to make a prompt and full
disclosure of material facts either orally, or in writing or otherwise to assist the Secretary of State to the full in establishing
the facts of the asylum case, for example not attending an interview, and any information provided does not establish that the
applicant is not a refugee. In these circumstances the application falls to be refused under paragraphs 340 and 336 of HC 395 (as
amended).
A nationality breakdown of non-compliance refusals is not available prior to October 2000.
The available information is given in the table.

Mr. Corbett: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the practical difficulties of
returning failed asylum seekers to (a) Iran, (b) Iraq, (c) Somalia, (d) Sri Lanka and (e) Afghanistan. [153829]
Mrs. Roche: [holding answer 15 March 2001]: For all nationalities there are the practical difficulties of locating those who have
absconded.
There are also the practical difficulties of arranging flights, the handling of last minute representations and legal challenges.
Many asylum seekers arrive without a valid passport. In order to effect their return it is necessary to obtain a passport or other
travel document from their national authorities. This can be a lengthy and difficult process as it is often necessary to provide
detailed evidence of the applicant's identity and nationality before a travel document can be issued.
We are not currently seeking to return failed asylum seekers where country conditions are not conducive. In addition returns to
three of these countries (Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan) are complicated by the absence of direct international flights from the
United Kingdom to those countries. Thus removals to those countries require the agreement of third party states to enable transit
through their territory. We are currently investigating the potential for reaching such agreements with appropriate states. For some
nationalities we are unable to effect removals without having first obtained a travel document from that country's Embassy or High
Commission.
