Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individuals who have the right to work in the UK have no recourse to public funds.

There are a number of forms of leave that can be granted which give the right to work in the UK but with no recourse to public funds. This is underpinned by Part 5A of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

We do not routinely record information centrally on individuals who have the right to work in the UK without recourse to public funds.
