Alistair Carmichael – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Alistair Carmichael on 2016-03-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether there is a maximum time her Department expects a person to travel for in order to enrol biometrics for a biometric residence permit.

James Brokenshire

There is no maximum time the Department expects a person to travel in order to enrol their biometric information for a biometric residence permit.

There are 115 Post Office branches across the UK providing the biometric enrolment service; these are primarily located in or around cities and towns where the majority of applicants are residing. The extension of the service to other locations would be a commercial consideration for the Post Office Ltd.
