Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the correspondence with the hon. Member for Glasgow Central of 5 January 2023, reference ZA24239, what the oldest allowed appeal awaiting processing is as of 25 January 2023; and how many allowed appeals are awaiting processing.

The requested information cannot be accurately extracted from our internal systems. To provide this information would require a manual trawl of successful appeals and to do so would incur disproportionate cost.

Where an appeal has been allowed in favour of the appellant, and is not subject to onward appeal, we take all reasonable steps to implement the allowed appeal in a timely manner.
