Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Ukrainian refugees are awaiting biometric residence permits (a) in the UK, (b) in Scotland and (c) on the MS Ambition in Glasgow as of 16 November 2022; and for what reasons there have been delays in processing those permits.
The information is not available in the format requested and could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
The waiting times for biometric residence permits (BRPs) are dictated by the BRP production and delivery processes. We aim to deliver a BRP within 7 working days of the immigration decision.
