Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people applied for a visa through the fast track immigration service in the UK since 1 January 2017; and how many of those visa applications were granted on the same day that the application was made.

Purdah has delayed publication of data for 2017. A link to the most recent available data and that for Q4 of 2016 is therefore provided.
