Asylum: Questionnaires
Asked by: Amy Callaghan (Scottish National Party - East Dunbartonshire) Tuesday 28th March 2023 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the adequacy of the accessibility of (a) translators, (b) legal representatives and (c) other support networks for people completing the asylum questionnaire within the 20-day period. Answered by Robert Jenrick - Shadow Secretary of State for Justice The Streamlined Asylum Process is one way in which we will clear the backlog and policy guidance on this was published on 23 February 2023 Streamlined asylum processing - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
The asylum claim questionnaires are in English as is generally the case for immigration paperwork across the Department. If necessary, claimants can utilise legal representatives who can complete the questionnaire on their behalf. All asylum seekers are entitled to legal representation to support them, including with translation, through legal aid. Advice on obtaining a legal representative can be found on Find an immigration adviser: Search for an adviser - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). For those who are unable to return the questionnaire within 20 working days, a reminder will be sent to the claimant allowing a further 10-working days to complete and return it to the Home Office. A further extension can be requested where the timeframe cannot be met, for example because the claimant has serious medical conditions which is impacting their ability to respond to the questionnaire. The intention of these questionnaires is to enable claimants to provide any further information about their claims after their initial screening interview upon arrival. |
Social Security Benefits: Lone Parents
Asked by: Amy Callaghan (Scottish National Party - East Dunbartonshire) Wednesday 22nd March 2023 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an assessment of the adequacy of the level of Government support for single parent families. Answered by Guy Opperman The Government is committed to a sustainable, long-term approach to tackling poverty and supporting people on lower incomes. As seen in the measures announced by the Chancellor in the Spring Statement, the Government is focused on ensuring more people are supported into the workforce so that they can seize the opportunities and positive benefits of work, including changes to the Universal Credit childcare element which will provide generous additional financial support to parents moving into work and/or increasing their working hours. From April, State Pensions and benefits including Universal Credit will increase by 10.1% in line with the Consumer Prices Index for the year to September 2022. The benefit cap levels will also be increased from April by 10.1%, ensuring capped households will see an increase in their benefit following Up-rating.
The Government understands the pressures people are facing with the cost of living, which is why, in addition to the £37 billion of support we have provided for cost-of-living pressures in 2022/23, we are acting now to ensure support continues throughout 2023/24. |
