Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many parliamentarians from overseas countries have had to (a) cancel and (b) delay travel to the UK as a result of (i) visa refusals, (ii) visa cancellations, and (iii) delays in the issuing of a visa in each of the last five years.

The Home Office does not collate or publish the information requested.

The available information relates to total entry clearance visas refused, published in the quarterly Immigration Statistics Visas volume 1 table vi_01_q, latest edition at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-september-2018/list-of-tables#visas .

Information published in the Migration Transparency data indicates that the vast majority of straightforward cases are processed within Service standards (see table Visa_01, at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-statistics-year-ending-september-2018/list-of-tables#visas )
