Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how long it is taking on average to process applications made by EU nationals to the pilot EU settled status scheme.

Applications under the pilot phases of EU Settlement Scheme have been processed very quickly. Some applicants have needed to provide additional information and we have worked with them to ensure they know what information they need to provide. For these cases decisions could take longer as we will rely on the applicant providing that information in order to progress their application.

Further details will be provided in the second private beta report which will be published in due course.
