<p>All asylum claims lodged in the UK are carefully considered on their individual
merits against a background of relevant case law and up to date country information.
We ensure that claimants are given every opportunity to disclose information relevant
to their claim under a Convention reason as set out in the 1951 Refugee Convention.</p><p>The
data required to answer the question is not recorded in a way that can be reported
on accurately. The Home Office does not electronically record the Convention reason
on which an individual claims asylum and so we cannot identify how many asylum claimants,
from a specific country, have been granted asylum due to a claim made on the grounds
of religious persecution.</p><p>However, the Home Office publishes figures on the
outcome of all asylum claims, which can be broken down by nationality, in the Immigration
Statistics release. The breakdown is as follows:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year
ending </strong></p></td><td><p>Jun-15</p></td><td><p>Jun-16</p></td><td><p>Jun-17</p></td><td><p>Jun-18</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Applications
from Pakistani nationals</p></td><td><p>2313</p></td><td><p>3000</p></td><td><p>2598</p></td><td><p>2313</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Grants
of Pakistani nationals; Including Humanitarian Protection, Discretionary leave, Exceptional
Leave and other grants of Leave outside the Rules.</p></td><td><p>610</p></td><td><p>300</p></td><td><p>295</p></td><td><p>294</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Grants
of Asylum of Pakistani nationals</p></td><td><p>568</p></td><td><p>288</p></td><td><p>277</p></td><td><p>269</p></td></tr></tbody></table>
