Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 30 September (HL10502), why they do not publish data on the number of individuals who overstay their seasonal worker visa, and whether they plan to publish such data.

Official statistics published by the Home Office are kept under review in line with the code of practice for statistics, taking into account several factors including user needs, the resources required to compile the statistics, as well as quality and availability of data.
