The Home Affairs Committee takes evidence from the Permanent Secretary in the Home Office, Matthew Rycroft, on Wednesday 1 July in a wide-ranging session examining the work of the Home Office.
Scope of the session
In his first appearance before the Select Committee since his appointment, the Permanent Secretary will be questioned on his department's administration of key business areas.
