To ask His Majesty's Government when they last made an assessment of the situation in Eritrea in determining whether individuals from that country meet the eligibility criteria for asylum in the UK; and what discussions they have had with European counterparts in the past three years concerning these criteria.

The Home Office’s most recent country policy and information note (CPIN) on Eritrea, which sets out our general assessment of asylum claims based on a fear of avoiding national service and leaving the country illegally, was published in September 2021. The CPIN is publicly available on GOV.UK.
We maintain a regular dialogue with European counterparts on a wide range of asylum issues.
