The new subsection (10) addresses the situation where the applicant fails to attend for interview. Unless the applicant has a reasonable explanation for not turning up and gives it either before the date fixed for the interview or within three working days after the no-show, there will now be no second chance. All applicants will be told that they should attend for their interview or their claim for asylum will be at an end. Ample notice is given for interviews and times and dates are provided. There is normally plenty of opportunity to rearrange if enough notice is given of a pressing reason – for example, medical reasons – that a particular date cannot be met.
