Figure 10 illustrates the last recorded case outcomes in respect of asylum applications by relevant “nationality” categories, noted on CID. It shows that 23 per cent of cases were refused, 56 per cent were granted refugee status or another form of leave to remain, 6 per cent of applications were withdrawn and 11 per cent fall into an “other” category (where either the applicant is deceased or has left the UK). This broadly confirms that the grant rate derived from the published statistics is around double the present average for all asylum-seekers, whilst the refusal rate is over three times lower. Those cases classified as “Stateless person Article 1 of 1954 Convention” account for 78 per cent of grants made within this group, whilst this particular category made up only 58 per cent of all cases detailed here, meaning those individuals in this category experienced the highest rate of grants. 42 Mapping statelessness
