Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she plans to respond to correspondence dated 8 September 2021 from the Rt Hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne East.

The correspondence from the Rt Hon. Member of 8 September was not received by the Home Secretary or the Home Office, which has led to a delay in response. A copy of the Rt Hon. Member’s correspondence has now been retrieved from his office, prioritised for response and I will respond shortly.
