an enormous backlog of unresolved asylum cases that has ballooned under the Conservatives, to 140,000 this year from about 22,000 in March 2018.
About 50,000 people are being accommodated in hotels leased by the government — at times as many as 350 — at a cost of £8 million a day. In total, the asylum system has cost taxpayers nearly £3.97 billion, or around $4.8 billion, in the past year — nearly double what it was the year before, according to official data.
while asylum applications are still well below what they were back in the 2000'sCases pending a decision
At the end of June 2011, 10,881 applications received since April 2006 were pending a decision (initial decision, appeal or further review). Nationals of Afghanistan had the most cases pending a decision and in particular, cases pending an initial decision, while nationals of Sri Lanka were the group with the most cases pending further decisions.
Asylum support
As asylum seekers are not normally allowed to work for the first year while their application is being considered, support (known as Section 95 support) is available. There were 11,600 support applications in 2010, having fallen from a peak of 68,624 in 2002.
At the end of June 2011, 20,855 asylum seekers were in receipt of Section 95 support, of which 3,009 were receiving subsistence only support and 17,846 were supported in dispersed accommodation, with the largest nationality group currently supported being nationals of Pakistan. The numbers in receipt of support has fallen from 80,123 at the end of 2003.
The falls in support applications and numbers receiving support are in line with falling number of asylum applications and the clearance of a backlog of asylum claims from the early part of the decade.
Failed asylum seekers who are destitute and have reasons that temporarily prevent them from leaving are also eligible for support (called Section 4). In 2010, there were 6,621 decisions to grant Section 4 support and at the end of June 2011, there were 2,461 failed asylum seekers, excluding dependants, recorded as being in receipt of this support.
Their next presidential election is scheduled for 2027, although I have no idea if they can call one earlier than that, like general elections can be in the UK.will there be elections anytime soon?
