To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 5 March 2018 to Question 129979, how much her Department paid in reimbursement for costs relating to lost documents in 2017.
For immigration applications, data on the number of times reimbursement of costs for lost documents have been paid and the total amount paid as reimbursement for lost documents, in the years requested, are not held centrally or published by the Home Office.
