65. Although the total number of accumulating Home Office backlogs has decreased, we are concerned by the huge increase in the number of in country applications where the application has been received and is awaiting input onto the Home Office computer system (CID). We repeat our concern that the total number in the migration refusal pool has not gone down by an appreciable amount from when the Home Office had contracted Capita to address this matter. The total backlog remains at 332,169 and does not appear to be reducing at an appreciable rate. The Committee reiterates its previous recommendation that the backlogs must be cleared as a matter of priority.
