09 February 2010
The Chief Executive of the UK Border Agency has responded to a new report into the immigration system by the Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman, Ann Abraham.
The report, entitled 'Fast and Fair?', was published yesterday.
Responding to the report, UK Border Agency Chief Executive Lin Homer said:
'We take the Ombudsman's recommendations seriously and welcome the assessment that our complaints systems are improving.
'The UK Border Agency is continuing to make progress in dealing with the legacy backlog of older asylum cases, and has already concluded more than 235,000 cases. I am confident we are on course to conclude these cases by the summer of 2011.'
