Sacked borders watchdog David Neal said the Home Office is 'dysfunctional' and needs reform.
Sacked borders watchdog David Neal said the Home Office is 'dysfunctional' and needs reform. Mr Neal was sacked as the independent chief inspector of borders and immigration in February and said that he "paid the price" for speaking out about his concerns. He insisted that his "conscience is absolutely clear" after losing the confidence of Home Secretary James Cleverly amid claims he breached the terms of his appointment.
Mr Neal suggested that his sacking and the lack of a replacement meant there would be less scrutiny of border-related issues, including the Rwanda asylum scheme."I've been sacked. So there will be no scrutiny of small boats, there will be no scrutiny of adults at risk in detention which is a controversial area, there will be no publishing of the Rwanda material.
