David Neal: Home Office in a state of disrepair

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to the comments made by the former Independent Borders Inspector David Neal to the BBC, the LiberalDemocrat Home Affairs Spokesperson Alistair Carmichael MP said:

“These comments confirm what we already suspected - the Home Office is in a state of total dysfunction and disrepair. 

“Nothing is working how it should. Now, we don’t even have a Chief Inspector to provide the scrutiny that is so desperately needed. 

“To think that this Conservative Government can push forward with their failing Rwanda policy while ducking accountability is disgraceful. The Home Office cannot just withhold reports and information that they don’t like.

"At the very least, its implementation should be delayed until the Government can get its act together and appoint a Chief Inspector.”
