Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the (a) average and (b) target time taken between the completion of an immigration tribunal and the implementation of that tribunal's decision is.

The information requested in part (a) covers a broad range of casetypes and is not held centrally for in country cases. It could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. For international appeals the average time for allowed appeals to be implemented from January 2014 to September 2014 was 45 calendar days.

The Home Office has 14 days to consider whether to appeal an allowed First-tier or Upper Tribunal decision (although this can be longer in some Upper Tribunal decisions where the last avenue to appeal is direct to the Court of Appeal).

The relevant unit responsible for implementation will be notified once a decision has been made not to appeal. There are currently no set targets in place governing implementation of appeals.
