Part of Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department – in the House of Commons at 2:30 pm on 15 May 2006.
Any loss of files is dreadful, I concede. It is frustrating not just for Members of Parliament but for the applicants, so we must address it. My hon. Friend will know that, together with UKvisas, we have arranged a range of activities, seminars and so on for Back Bench MPs on the range of IND business. Such matters are dealt with competently and fairly when they are brought to our attention, and hopefully we can deal far more swiftly with complaints from Members and their constituents.
