Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department holds information on the number of applicants who apply for indefinite leave to remain who are unsuccessful on their first application but who are successful on a subsequent attempt.

We are unable to provide the information requested as this would involve undertaking a manual trawl of individual cases which would incur disproportionate cost.

The number of applications for indefinite leave to remain is published as part of the Migration Transparency data, available at https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/migration-transparency-data InC 02 for all routes with a 6 month service standard.
