Recommendation 4

4 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.

Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
The Government notes the Committee’s conclusions. Current planning is for Defence to retain primacy of the UK’s operational response until January 2023, at which point the operational requirement and financing arrangements will be reviewed.
