Dear Mr Davis,
Thank you for your enquiry of 29 December 2020, in which you requested information on the number of people who were
granted leave after making further submissions following an asylum appeal refusal.
Information Requested
Your request has been handled as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Your request
is:
How many people have been granted asylum or some other form of leave to remain having had an asylum
appeal refused and then making further submissions.
Please give figures for each year since 2015
Response
Paragraph 353 in Part 12 of the Immigration Rules applies to further submissions on protection and human rights
grounds. It applies where an earlier protection or human rights claim has been refused, withdrawn or treated as withdrawn
under paragraph 333C of the Immigration Rules.
Please note that the data below applies to those who have been granted asylum or another form of leave to remain on
the basis of Further Submissions lodged subsequent to a previous refusal of asylum. It is inclusive of all cases whether
the applicant lodged an appeal against the previous asylum refusal or not.
