The process of quality assuring the data held on the Home Office's Case Information Database relating to sexuality based asylum claims continues to be undertaken by the Home Office.

Further to the response provided to Lord Scriven on 25 March 2015, (HL5725) the process of quality assuring the data held on the Home Office's Case Information Database, relating to sexuality based asylum claims is currently being undertaken by Home Office officials.<\/p>
As such, the Home Office has not yet reached a point where it can provide an accurate picture of the number of asylum claims based on sexuality and no statistical data on this subject has hitherto been published.<\/p>
Information where the detail of the asylum claim basis relates to gender identity issues is not routinely recorded on Home Office databases in a way that can be easily aggregated.
