Marriage: Fraud

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 22 March 2023 to Question 165225 on Marriage Fraud, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of collecting data on allegations relating to fraudulent marriage; and how many Public Statement: Relationship No Longer Subsisting forms have been received in each year since 2015.

Answer

The Home Office has not made assessment of the potential merits of collecting data on allegations relating to fraudulent marriage.

The data regarding the No Longer Subsisting Forms are not held centrally and to obtain it would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold.
