Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 3 August 2017 to Question 2332, how many people directly affected by the Grenfell Tower fire have been granted 12 months limited leave to remain.

The policy was extended on 31 August for a further three months to give survivors additional time to come forward to receive support for the exceptionally traumatic events that they have experienced and to provide essential first-hand accounts regarding the fire.

This is a targeted immigration policy that we expect to benefit a limited number of people. The scheme has only been operating since 5 July and the extension to 30 November will provide a further opportunity for people to come forward. We have plans to publish statistics in due course.
