Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many EU Settlement Scheme applications are awaiting a decision.

The Home Office publishes data on the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) in the ‘EU Settlement Scheme statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)’.

The latest published information on EUSS applications received and concluded to 30 June 2022, can be found in the quarterly summary data at EU Settlement Scheme quarterly statistics, June 2022 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

The published statistics include those applicants who are seeking to upgrade their status from pre-settled to settled status, repeat applicants, joining family members, and also those who have submitted late applications.

Please note there has been a change in the frequency of the statistical information regarding the EU Settlement Scheme; moving from monthly to quarterly publication. The quarterly statistics will continue to provide updated information on the scheme, including monthly breakdowns of applications and conclusions. The latest quarterly release up to 30 June 2022 was published on 27 September.
