Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords].
Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [Lords]
I have been following the debate on the monitor. Today the Home Secretary gave evidence to the Select Committee. Last week, the head of the immigration and nationality directorate did so. It costs £650 million for the Government to service the backlog of immigration cases. Does the hon. Gentleman believe that it would be in the interests of all concerned if that backlog could be cleared so that all these cases could be processed quickly?
