§ Simon HughesTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs what plans he has to provide feedback from adjudicators to entry clearance officers on the quality of decision-making in relation to family visit visa applications. [120600]
§ Mr. LammyIt is not the role of independent judicial officers to provide feedback to entry clearance officers on the quality of decision-making. Decision makers receive a copy of the adjudicator's determination in every case and it is for the entry clearance managers to address any issues of concern over the quality of decision making. If adjudicators identify a matter giving rise to a more general concern then the Chief Adjudicator may write to the head of UK Visas to address that specific issue.
