PAC report condemns Home Office for losing track of failed asylum seekers due to 'unacceptable' errors
By
Dave Burke
Summary
A cross-party Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report has delivered a damning indictment of the Home Office's handling of the asylum system, finding that failed asylum seekers are disappearing due to "shocking and unacceptable" errors. The Home Office admitted it does not know the whereabouts of all rejected applicants. MPs also criticized the government for lacking a clear plan to move asylum seekers out of hotels. The report accuses the Home Office of losing control of the asylum system entirely.
