Latest 2 Written Questions
(View all written questions)There are no current plans to review these provisions in the act.
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
There is no set date for when we will publish a response to the Migration Advisory Committee’s report. The recommendations are being considered in detail alongside the work being carried out as a result of the Immigration White Paper which made clear that family migration would be reformed to tackle the overly complex family immigration arrangements, including the financial requirements.
The Immigration and Asylum Bill, introduced on 30 June, will deliver a fundamental reset of the balance between individual Article 8 rights and the public interest for those who do not fall within our family policy. This will reflect a fair balance between individual circumstances and the UK’s economic and social interest and is flexible enough to ensure that the most vulnerable are not excluded.
The Home Secretary will respond to the report in due course.
