Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the timetable is for all Biometric Residence Permits to include national insurance numbers.
This question was answered on 9th May 2018
The Home Office and Department for Work and Pensions began work in 2016 to issue Biometric Residence Permits featuring the holder’s national insurance number where they are entitled to work in the UK. This has been implemented for all refugees and most Tier 2 skilled migrants. It will be extended to other relevant immigration categories in due course.
