Proceeding contribution from Phil Woolas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 December 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Asylum System.
Asylum System
My policy is to clear the backlog. My policy is that we should take decisions fairly and quickly, commensurate with fairness. I have looked at the Croydon figures as a result of the changes that we have made, and it is not the case that the number has fallen, as the right hon. Member for Birmingham, Ladywood has suggested. Indeed, the overall numbers applying at Croydon have diminished as we have cleared the backlog and got more on top of the situation. Let me give examples of some of the policy measures that we have implemented.
