Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the oral contribution of the Minister for Immigration of 5 February 2018, Official Report, column 1211, when she expects the Migration Advisory Committee to respond to her invitation to provide interim reports on the economic aspects of the UK’s exit from the EU.

On 27 July 2017, the Government commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy. It has been asked to report by September 2018 and I understand that the MAC hope to publish an interim report in the near future.
