The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many grants of indefinite leave to remain have been revoked and have lapsed in the most recent year or quarter for which data is available.

Answered by Mike Tapp

The information requested is not available from published statistics, and the relevant data could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate costs. Under section 12(1) of the FOIA, the Home Office is not obliged to comply with an information request where to do so would exceed the appropriate limit.
