Independent Immigration Appeals Authority
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to Clause 9 of the Immigration and Asylum Bill, what estimate she has made of the proportion of applicants who will have claims determined through the expedited claims process.
Answered by Alex Norris
Clause 9 provides the Home Secretary with powers to set statutory timeframes for appeals and request expedition in certain cases, although the IIAA retains the final decision. The number and categories of cases subject to these statutory timeframes are yet to be determined. Compliance with timeframes will be monitored, with reporting obligations and escalation to the IIAA Chief Executive where delays occur.
