backlog of applications

Post by popeye » Wed Jul 13, 2005 10:46 pm

Any comments ?

Hansard : 28 June 2005


Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the backlog is of applications for each category of leave to remain in the UK; and if he will make a statement. [6919]

Mr. McNulty: As at 31 May 2005, there were 57,792 outstanding non-asylum applications for further leave to remain. These consisted of 20,107 charged applications, which represents a normal work in progress level which we expect to decide in line with our current service standards as shown on the immigration and nationality directorate website, and 37,685 non-charged applications. The non-charged cases include 10,074 European cases, 8,538 European Community Association Agreement (ECAA) cases and 12,731 indefinite leave from exceptional leave cases. ECAA casework was suspended until recently and has now resumed which has caused these applications to be delayed.

Mr McNulty has modestly hushed up the information of hundreds if not thousands of applications, including a number of asylum ones lodged 5 - 10 years ago that were never considered and also those lost in their computer system during the major overhaul in 1999 - 2000.
