PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
UK Visas and Immigration: Stoke on Trent (8 October 2018)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the effect on asylum seekers in Stoke-on-Trent of the closure of the immigration reporting centre in that city.

Asked by:
Gareth Snell (Labour)

Answer

Asylum seekers aren’t required to report until they have had a negative decision on their case. The new location is considered to be within a reasonable travelling time. To minimise the impact on those that are required to travel for longer periods we are reducing some individuals reporting frequencies to minimise disruption.
