Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the issuing of biometric residence permits for Windrush cases has been prioritised by his Department over other cases in the last two months.

The Home Office is processing Windrush cases, and the issuing of the associated Biometric Residence Permits (BRP) once a decision has been made, as a priority.

This is being successfully managed to provide Windrush individuals with the documents they need as soon as possible, without impacting on the performance of wider BRP production.
