Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been employed by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner in each year since 2005; and what the annual budget was for the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner in each of those years.

As an Executive Non-Departmental Public Body of the Home Office, the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA), formerly known as the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC), is operationally independent and responsible for the service it provides.

Details of its staffing levels and its budget are published online in its Annual Report and Accounts (ARAs). A list of annual reports and financial accounts, and business plans published by the Office of the Immigration Service Commissioner from 2005 to 2021 can be found here.

For more recent ARAs, the 2022/23 report can be found here and the 2023/24 report can be found here.
