To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
what the cost to the public purse was of her Department's employment of
interpreters for immigration purposes in 2014-15; and what the roles and
responsibilities were of those interpreters, beyond assisting with the
processing of refugee applications.
James
Brokenshire Minister of State (Home Office) (Security and Immigration)
The total spend on interpreters in 2014-15 was
£749,746 for Border Force, £1,455,375 for Immigration Enforcement and
£5,366,622 for UK Visas and Immigration (Asylum) for translation in asylum
claims.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to enabling
a full and accurate two way interpretation service whilst not impeding the
progress of any formal interviews or encounters.
