To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to reduce the administrative review backlog.

Caseworking resource for administrative reviews has doubled since 2021/22, which was the first of consecutive years of significantly increased demand. 2023/24 saw a 50% increase in AR applications compared to the previous year, and intake through 2024/25 continued at those same increased levels.
