Rishi Sunak pledges more staff to help clear asylum backlog

With pressure building on the Home Office to tackle the issue, Mr Sunak has labelled the small boats crisis a priority for his premiership.

Under the government's plans, asylum case workers will be given new guidance making it clear Albania is a safe country and requiring evidence of modern slavery when considering a claim. But in an interview with the BBC, Mr Sunak insisted tripling the productivity of staff was "realistic", by removing paperwork and streamlining asylum interviews.

Recruiting and training staff will take time and resources. The home secretary had already announced an increase of 500 caseworkers by March next year but accepted that a 46% attrition rate meant this would only increase the total by around 300 to 1,300. She urged Mr Sunak not to "diminish our world-leading protections for the victims of this terrible, horrific crime".

Sunak promises? Hang on, isn't he the one who also promised honesty and integrity? So we know where that promise will end up then don't we?

Next Week he will show how to nail jelly to the ceiling.

Tories, always concentrating on distractions rather than actions.

Snack the fraudulent....

He also promised a more accountable government.

if I had a nickel for every time I heard this bullshit I would be a millionaire now human traffickers all over the world are laughing not you not any other useless government can stop this unless someone put an end to free handouts free accommodation endless benefits etc etc

🥱🥱🥱A broken conservative party will allow the illegal invasion to continue...

Well he's not kept any of his hustings pledges Whats changed?

Good

More bull.

Young immigrants may not feel happy for staying everyday without doing anything

What’s wrong with Albanians that they need asylum?

People are freezing & starving, families struggle with food & energy bills, the NHS is on it's knees & the in-work poor are rising. What do the Govt do? Create a migrant crisis. Migrants will die for Tory ideology. UK citizens will die for Tory ideology Tories kill people

By giving them all amnesty?.

Unless fleeing a war Send them back

Why are there about 6 million more people registered with NHS Doctors than there are people in England? Why aren’t Politicians trying to fix problem which is costing taxpayers billions of pounds & paying Doctors for doing nothing?

Is the owner of BBC Roman English or Scandinavian English

Promises promises that's all you get.

RishiSunak shouldn't make promises you can't or won't keep! Return the Albanians immediately. The Albanian PM says Albania wants them back, so send them. What is the hold up? no excuse.

And the UN doesn't like it, and nor do I.
