question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of starting the 28 day notice period for the end of asylum support 10 days after the issue of a Biometric Residence Permit.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2023 answer text <p>Following the service of an asylum decision, an individual continues to be an asylum seeker for the purpose of asylum support until the end of the relevant prescribed period, also known as the ‘grace period’ or ‘move on period’. This period is 28 calendar days from when an individual is notified of a decision to accept their asylum claim and grant them leave. There are no current plans to extend this period (of 28 days).</p><p> </p><p>Individuals should make plans to move on from asylum support as soon as they are served their asylum decision. We offer support to all individuals through Migrant Help or their partner organisation in doing this. This includes providing advice on accessing the labour market, on applying for Universal Credit and signposting to local authorities for assistance with housing.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 04/12/2023 16:53:46 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

uin	3929
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2023 answer text <p>The waiting times for biometric residence permits (BRP) are dictated by the BRP production and delivery processes.</p><p>We aim to deliver a BRP within 7 working days of the immigration decision. BRPs are produced at the secure delivery facility (Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA)) within 48 hours of the production request being made and are collected by our secure delivery partner the same day. Our secure delivery partner (FedEx) aims to attempt to deliver the BRPs within 48 hours of receipt of the BRPs. This equates to a minimum of 5 working days from date of production request being made to delivery of the BRP. We have added an additional 2 working days to the timeline advised to applicants to allow us to resolve any production issues.</p><p>Since 1st April 2022, DVLA have produced all BRPs within 48 hours of the production request, with 99.5% being produced within 24 hours. Since 1st April 2022, our Secure Delivery Partners, FedEx and Royal Mail Group have attempted to deliver over 99% of BRPs within 48 hours, and delivered over 80% of BRPs successfully on first delivery attempt.</p><p>Information on incorrect or returned deliveries is not publicly available, and so we are unable to answer this question.</p><p>Statistics regarding the individual production time of each BRP from the time a decision is made is not available publicly and could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick grouped question UIN 3930 question first answered 06/12/2023 16:17:30 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
