Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications for indefinite leave to remain took longer than six months for a decision to be reached in (a) June 2019 and (b) June 2022.

The Home Office publishes data on the number of applications which were granted and refused for indefinite leave to remain in our Migration Statistics: Migration statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The Home Office transparency data contains data of our performance against service standard for indefinite leave to remain applications. This can be found in VC_02 of our transparency data: Migration transparency data - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The Home Office does not publish data on the number of people who have applied for and have been processed under indefinite leave to remain. To obtain this information would require a manual trawl of cases and would incur a disproportionate cost.
