answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2023 answer text <p>The Home Office is tackling the asylum legacy caseload so that people can receive a decision and exit the system, either by returning to their home country, or granting them asylum so they can begin to make a contribution to the UK. We have already increased the number of decision makers to over 2,500 as of January 2023. We will continue to increase the number of caseworkers to help clear the asylum backlog by the end of 2023.</p><p>We are also improving the productivity, volumes, and speed of decision making so that people spend less time in asylum accommodation. We are streamlining and modernising the end-to-end process, with improved guidance, more focused and fewer interviews, enhancing use of digital technology, and we are introducing a more efficient approach to how claims are handled by decision makers. The aim is to clear initial asylum decisions relating to claims made before 28 June 2022, when the Nationality and Borders Act measures came into force, by the end of 2023.</p><p>The Home Office is committed to making every effort to reduce hotel use and limit the burden on the taxpayer. This is why we are delivering a range of alternative accommodation sites, maximising hotel space, operationalising the Illegal Migration Act and continuing our hard work to clear the asylum backlog by the end of the year.</p><p>In line with our response to the ICAI review, FCDO published the updated UK In-Donor Refugee Costs methodology report alongside our latest Statistics on International Development.</p><p>The full methodology report can be found here. Section 3 sets our the fit for purpose assessment and current data limitations.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 24/10/2023 15:38:58 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2023 answer text <p>The current nationality law, the British Nationality Act 1981, defines who is a British citizen. British nationality can be acquired through birth, descent, registration, and naturalisation (subject to fulfilling relevant statutory requirements). There is no power in law to grant British citizenship outside of the statutory provisions of the BNA 1981.</p><p>The Act reflects the principle that citizenship should be acquired on the basis of a close and continuing connection with the UK. Parents of British children can apply to naturalise if they wish to and meet the requirements which are designed to test the strength of the applicant’s connections with this country.</p><p>There are no plans to amend the law in this respect.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/10/2023 11:35:20 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>If a British citizen mistakenly applies to the EU Settlement Scheme, the Home Office will void their application as they have a right of abode in the UK. Status under the scheme would only be granted in circumstances where, based on the information and evidence submitted in the application, it was not clear that the applicant was a British citizen.</p><p>The requested data on the number of British citizens wrongly assigned pre-settled status is not available. Where pre-settled status is granted to a British citizen, it has no legal effect.</p><p>The Home Office strives to make the correct decision for applicants first time in every case.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 18/09/2023 15:50:38 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
