Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many applications have been received from EU nationals for settled status; and how many of those applications (a) have been granted, (b) have been refused and (c) are awaiting a decision.
As set out in my Written Statement on the EU Settlement Scheme on 11 October (HCWS997), I have written to the Rt Hon Member for Normanton, Pontefract and Castleford, the Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee, with our early findings from the initial private beta phase and placed a copy of that letter in the Library.
We will continue to monitor findings and will publish a full report with our findings once this first phase, which runs until later this month, has been completed.
