The general policy of the Home Office is not to disclose personal information
about another person. This is because we have obligations under the Data
Protection Act and in law generally to protect this information.

The UK has a proud history of granting asylum to those who need our protection
and we consider every claim for asylum on its individual merits.
We believe that those with no right to be in the UK should return to their home
country and we will help those who wish to leave voluntarily. However, when
they refuse to do so we will take steps to enforce their removal at the
earliest opportunity.
