[56169] Mr. Mike O'Brien: The Immigration and Nationality Directorate's (IND) Information Technology (IT) needs over the next few years will be met mainly through the Casework Programme System. We also announced in the White Paper "Fairer, Faster and Firmer--A Modern Approach to Immigration and Asylum" that we would undertake a study of options for using IT to support the integration of pre-entry, on-entry and enforcement activity and to help modernise the labour intensive process of passenger clearance. In addition, the following 11 major systems have been both planned and installed in IND since 1 May 1997: File Tracking System Upgrade E-mail External Links and enhancements Home Office Directory 2 Operational Planning and Support Service Corporate Desktop Angel Square Presenting Officer Unit Desktop Support Strategy and Legislation Team Desktop Support Asylum and Appeals Policy Desktop Support Asylum Support Team Desktop Support Carriers' Liability Replacement Immigration Service Enforcement Forgery System Internet Information Services.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to his answer to the right hon. Member for Caernarfon (Mr. Wigley) of 20 July 1998, Official Report, column 380, on asylum seekers, if he will list the more efficient working practices referred to in the answer; and if the plans for computerisation of casework are those plans in respect of which the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State undertook to write to the hon. Member for Hertsmere in his answer of 7 May, Official Report, column 452. [52222] Mr. Mike O'Brien: [holding answer 27 July 1998]: We have in hand organisational changes in the Immigration and Nationality Directorate, which will result in a new Integrated Casework Directorate. This will handle the casework currently dealt with in five separate Directorates. We will get rid of the present hierarchical system of decision-making, in which wasteful duplication often causes delay. We will devolve decision-making to the appropriate level, in teams which will deal with a case from start to finish. The teams will be fully supported by up-to-date information and we will have in place quality assurance mechanisms to audit decisions. We are well on the way to establishing this new Directorate. A pilot of the working methods will start in August. The computerisation plans referred to in my answer to the right hon. Member for Caernarfon of 20 July are the same plans about which I undertook to write to the hon. Member for Hertsmere in my answer of 7 May. We still await proposals from Siemens Business Services for completing the next stage of the computerisation; the company has indicated that these will be available by 28 August.
