To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to prevent abuse by applicants of the proposed new capped safe and legal routes for asylum seekers.
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to prevent abuse by applicants of the proposed new capped safe and legal routes for asylum seekers.
Arrivals under the new safe and legal routes will start small and build over time. The number of arrivals will be carefully managed to align with the UK’s capacity to support refugees.
To prevent abuse of the routes, the Home Office will assess all applications to ensure that only those who meet the eligibility requirements can access them. Refugee status will be determined in partnership with the UNHCR, and all applicants will be subject to appropriate security, identity, and background checks before arrival in the UK.
The Home Office will also retain control over who can sponsor, setting clear criteria to be met by sponsor groups and undertaking monitoring and assurance to ensure sponsorship arrangements are safe, effective and deliver positive outcomes. Where concerns about misuse, fraud or non-compliance are identified, appropriate action will be taken.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many medical driving licence applications have been awaiting a decision for more than six months.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many medical driving licence applications have been awaiting a decision for more than six months.
In 2025/26, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency issued 12.3 million driving licences and made more than 750,000 medical licensing decisions. The current number of medical driving licence applications that have been awaiting a licensing decision for six months or more is 55,142.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has seen sustained growth in the volume and complexity of driving licence applications where a medical condition must be investigated before a licence can be issued. The length of time taken to deal with an application often depends on the condition(s) involved and whether further information is required from third parties, for example doctors or other healthcare professionals, before a licence can be issued.
To keep up with growing demand and to offer a better service, the DVLA has launched a new casework system and a new digital medical services portal. This new online service allows the majority of people to apply online via the DVLA’s driver and vehicles account.
These changes will help the DVLA to process applications more quickly. Further enhancements for people applying for a provisional licence and those renewing at the age of 70 or over will be made later this summer.
