Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has plans to publish service standards for the applications for the EU Settlement Scheme comparable to those published for the (a) UK Visas & Immigration and (b) Passport Office.

We have committed to publishing quarterly statistical reports on the EU Settlement Scheme as a whole, alongside our Immigration Statistics from August 2019. Home Office statisticians are currently considering the content and will be taking into account the views of statistics users.

The Home Office publishes estimated processing times for EU Settlement Scheme applications at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-application-processing-times/eu-settlement-scheme-pilot-current-expected-processing-times-for-applications, giving applicants a guide to the current level of service.
