Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made for the adequacy of the performance of UK Visas and Immigration in regard to the (a) number of initial decisions not appealed, (b) number of initial decisions overturned on appeal and (c) cost to her Department of unsuccessful appeals in each year since 2010.
UK Visas & Immigration has established arrangements for assessing the quality of decision making, including reviewing allowed appeals. Information on the cost to the Home Office of unsuccessful appeals in each year since 2010 is not centrally held and can only be provided at disproportionate cost through the examination of individual case records.
