Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the additional workload of dealing with urgent problems of the Windrush generation will have any impact on timescales for processing spouse extension and other types of visa applications; and if so, whether they have any plans to recruit more officials to deal with that additional workload.

The Home Office is committed to processing applications within the published service standards. We closely monitor performance and respond as necessary, including flexing resource.
