Dear Mr Kinnock,

Thank you for your letter dated 4 January in which you raised concerns about statements that the government has cleared the backlog of asylum claims.

Today I have responded to Alistair Carmichael MP, who raised similar concerns to the UK Statistics Authority on 3 January.

Please find a copy enclosed.

Yours sincerely,

Sir Robert Chote
Chair
