	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2016 answer text <p>We do not routinely collect such statistics. Each asylum case is considered on its individual merits. Where it is accepted that an individual would face persecution in their country of origin or it would be otherwise unsafe for them to return, some form of protection would normally be granted in the UK. If protection is not granted, then whether or not removal can be enforced, we expect failed asylum seekers to return home. The Home Office closely monitors developments in all countries of return and will take decisions on a case-by-case basis in the light of international obligations and the latest available country information. Generally, there are no countries to which, as a matter of immigration policy, we cannot remove. However there may be some countries where at any one time it is difficult practically to undertake enforced removals.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 25/02/2016 15:58:18 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
