Recommendation 4

4 Acknowledged Paragraph: 56

We are seriously concerned by the lack of a clear endpoint for this operation.

Conclusion
We are seriously concerned by the lack of a clear endpoint for this operation. Restoring public confidence in the immigration system is a task at which numerous governments have failed. It is not a task Defence is equipped to undertake. The MOD has its own policy failings which it needs to remedy – it should not be made responsible for the failings of other government departments as well.
