The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what proportion of Developed Vetting renewals have been completed within 95 days in each of the past six months, and what steps are being taken to improve performance.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) continues to meet its agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across each product type, including Developed Vetting renewal clearances.

UKSV KPIs are set and regularly reviewed in consultation with customer groups, governed by ministerial oversight, to ensure demand is balanced whilst maintaining assurance in national security safeguards.

In line with the practice followed by successive administrations, the Government does not otherwise comment on security matters.
