Independent Immigration Appeals Authority
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to prevent the backlog of asylum appeals from increasing as a result of the establishment of a new appeals body and the associated structural and staffing changes.
- Answer
-
We expect a phased transition, in which the First Tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) continues to hear existing appeals, in parallel with the new Independent Immigration Appeals Authority taking on new cases. This will ensure continuity and help address backlogs as quickly as possible.
