HC Deb 22 June 2004 vol 422 c1364W
Mrs. Curtis-Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the level of funding of the asylum system in this financial year. [177894]

Mr. Browne

The Immigration and Nationality Directorates (IND) resource budget for 2004–05 is £1,684 million (Main Estimates after technical adjustments) and the capital budget is £127 million (Main Estimates adjusted for the final SR 2002 settlement). However, the final IND budget is subject to revision, particularly when the final allocation of the Single Asylum Budget between IND and the Department of Constitutional Affairs is agreed.
