To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on what date the Immigration Platform Technologies programme became fully operational.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Immigration Platform Technologies Programme delivered three integrated technology services that improved efficiency through driving automation and reducing manual processes, facilitating improved data transparency, and supporting more consistent decision making. It has also enabled rapid responses to Government priorities, such as launching new routes for the Ukraine Permission Extension scheme and the Afghan Resettlement scheme. The Accounting Officer Assessment for IPT was published on 6 September 2022 (6 September 2022: Immigration Platform Technologies (IPT) Programme Accounting Officer Assessment - GOV.UK)
