Asylum (Designated States) Order 2010

My Lords, we on these Benches support the order and I thank the Minister for his comprehensive explanation of the background. We note that the Republic of Korea—South Korea—and Kosovo are the subject of the order. I have three questions. In fact, I now have two, as the Minister has given an assurance that each asylum claim is assessed on a case-by-case basis. First, can the Minister say how many asylum applications the Government receive on average per year from these countries and what the most common cause is of asylum applications? Secondly, how regularly is the list reviewed and according to what criteria?
