Paragraph: 76
The Defence budget (despite its recent uplift and multi-year commitment) is already inadequate.
Conclusion
The Defence budget (despite its recent uplift and multi-year commitment) is already inadequate. Adding responsibility for immigration without a further uplift in the budget takes scarce resources from an already overstretched Department. We do not understand why this operation is not being treated as a MACA request and accordingly resourced by the Home Office.
