What we have seen already with the fast processing is that where people receive a negative decision much more quickly, they are more likely to leave, and they leave much more quickly. There are people who do not want a deportation order or negative decisions on their applications. As regards the voluntary returns process, which we are enhancing and on which we are working with people who have gone through it and got a negative decision, people are more likely to take that on board instead of taking legal cases or judicial review. There will always be people who may take judicial review or legal proceedings - that is the case now - but the more efficient a system we have, the less likely that is to happen.
