Written Question
Undocumented Migrants: European Convention on Human Rights
Monday 23rd March 2026

Asked by: John Cooper (Conservative - Dumfries and Galloway)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the European Convention on Human Rights on levels of illegal immigration.

Answered by Alex Norris - Minister of State (Home Office)

We are committed to the ECHR. But it must evolve to reflect modern challenges like mass migration and ability to protect the public. That is why we are working with international partners to modernise its application.

We will also tighten how Article 8 is applied at domestic level to prevent gaming of the system and ensure the public interest is given proper weight in immigration decisions.
