The Minister for Border Security and Asylum (Anna Turley)
I would like to notify the House that the Home Office has obtained approval for an advance from the Contingencies Fund of £4,000,000. The Independent Immigration Appeals Authority is being set up in parallel to the passage of the Immigration and Asylum Bill to help ensure that the authority is delivered as quickly as possible once the IIAA is established in law. We have identified the need for targeted spend on delivery activity prior to Royal Assent of the Bill.
Parliamentary approval for additional resource of £4,000,000 for this new service will be sought in a supplementary estimate for the Home Office. Pending that approval, urgent expenditure estimated at £4,000,000 will be met by repayable cash advances from the Contingencies Fund.
