Asylum and Immigration Tribunal: Fees and Charges

Question for Ministry of Justice

UIN HL1364, tabled on 20 July 2016

To ask Her Majesty’s Government why fees in the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal are to be increased, and what percentage of requests for a waiver of such fees were refused in each quarter since the beginning of 2015 to date.

Answered on

3 August 2016

The financial challenges faced by the Government means taking tough decisions on reducing public spending across a wide range of services.

That is why the Government consulted on proposals to increase fees in asylum and immigration proceedings.

Breaking down the data requested by quarter would incur disproportionate costs.
