Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average processing time is for the completion and awarding of a visa under the Homes for Ukraine scheme; and what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of that timeframe.

Improvements have been made to ensure visas are being processed quickly, which includes surging staff across government to bolster resource and speed up processing across both schemes.

Figures for both schemes are published regularly online and can be found at: Ukraine Family Scheme: application data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The Home Office does not capture the average length of time between applications being submitted and granted under either the Ukraine Family Scheme or Homes for Ukraine Scheme.

To capture this would require a manual trawl of data and to do so would incur disproportionate cost.
