Written question asked by Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) on Wednesday, 27 November 2024, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 11 December 2024. It was answered by Lord Hanson of Flint (Labour) on Wednesday, 11 December 2024 on behalf of the Home Office.


Visas: National Security

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 26 November (HL2463), why periodic data on individuals who have had UK visas revoked on the grounds of (1) national security, and (2) being non-conducive to the public good, are not currently held in a reliable and repeatable form.

Answer

The Home Office is continually working to improve its systems and management information. A new IT system product which will provide more reliable data, in this area, is currently under development.

The relevant data is currently held manually on spreadsheets maintained at local team level. To collate and verify that data in the context of this question could only be done at disproportionate cost.
