§ Mr. WrayTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what indicators or other methodologies are used to measure the impact of training on performance of officials in admission and asylum procedures. [22751]
§ Mr. Nicholas Baker[holding answer 5 May 1995]: The quality of decision making is monitored by senior officers. An important measure of quality is the number of refusal decisions which are upheld on appeal by the independent appellate authorities. At present only 5 per cent. of appeals by failed asylum seekers are allowed by special adjudicators.
