Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Queen's Speech 2017, whether her Department plans to publish the Immigration Bill only when the negotiations with the EU are complete.

The Immigration Bill will provide the legal structure needed to end free movement and implement the future immigration arrangements. The priority so far has been on negotiating the implementation period and on citizens’ rights. The Immigration Bill will be introduced when the Parliamentary timetable allows.
