Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between John Glen and Tim Loughton

Thursday 29th February 2024 Commons Chamber

[Tim Loughton (East Worthing and Shoreham) (Con)]

On the efficiency of Government Departments, I am sure that Ministers want report by inspectorates that are the responsibility of their Department to be produced in a timely manner. Is the Minister aware that the now sacked chief inspector of borders and immigration has produced 15 reports, which have been sitting on the Home Secretary’s desk, in some cases for over a year? There is complete confusion about how they can be published in the absence of the inspector and his deputy. Will the Minister look into that, and give reassurances to the House that these reports will be published in a timely fashion?

[John Glen]

My hon. Friend raises a very important matter. I will look into it urgently and come back to him as soon as possible.
