Immigration: Appeals
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the cost to the public purse of the immigration appeal backlog including (a) housing, (b) legal aid and (c) public services for people awaiting outcomes.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
Obtaining the specific information requested would involve collating and verifying information from multiple systems managed by multiple teams across several Government departments and public authorities and, therefore, could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
