PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
UK Visas and Immigration Lost Documents Working Group (6 July 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the UKVI Lost Documents Group established in November 2017 is the first such lost documents working group in (a) this government or (b) any previous government.

Asked by:
Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat)

The loss of documents is, and has always been taken very seriously by the Home Office. The UKVI Lost Documents Working Group focuses on the prevention and improvement of lost documents within UKVI today. However, the loss of documents within UKVI has been covered by other initiatives in the past including the creation of a Valuable Documents Guidance (01^st August 2013)

It is the responsibility of all those handling documents to ensure processes are followed and adhered to as well as the Lost Documents Working Group
