The Home Department does not hold centrally details of expenditure on recruitment agency fees so this information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Expenditure on outplacement agency fees for displaced or
redundant staff for the financial years prior to 2014/15 was not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. The fully audited figures for 2014/15 will be available in July 2015.
The total staff training costs for the financial years 2010/11 to 2013/14 are set out below:
2010-11 - £13,598,237
2011-12 - £14,860,807
2012-13 - £16,986,868

The number of outstanding asylum and immigration cases recorded as associated with each Scottish parliamentary constituency can be found at Table 1 below. The number of outstanding cases recorded as associated with each Scottish local authority area can be found in Table 2. The figures that have been provided below relate to main applicants who have made an immigration application or an asylum claim between 1 May 2010 - 31 December 2013, and whose claim was recorded as unresolved on 31 December 2013. For data protection purposes, cohorts of fewer than 10 people have been indicated with a *.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The data has been compiled by identifying the latest valid postcode on the Case Information Database (CID). For Scottish postcodes, this was then matched to the ONS Postcode database to associate it with a parliamentary constituency and local authority as far as possible. This postcode is the most recently recorded postcode for correspondence purposes and may not be represent the applicant\u2019s of place of residence or be the same postcode provided at the time of applying.<\/p>
