Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people in her Department are responsible for making decisions on family reunion cases.

In 2022 4,473 family reunion visas were issued to partners and children of those granted protection status. Our family reunion policy has granted more than 44,600 family reunion visas since 2015, with over half issued to children.

We will prioritise applications where there is a particularly urgent or compelling reason to do so.
