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 illegal immigration on (a) local law enforcement and (b) levels of police (i) funding and (ii) manpower required to tackle illegal entry-related cases.

This Government recognises that irregular migration is too high and that is why we are committed to restoring order to the system so that it is faster, fairer, and the rules are properly enforced.

Other Border Security partners, including Border Force, Immigration Enforcement and the National Crime Agency, lead on tackling illegal migration. As such, no specific assessment is made regarding the impact illegal migration has on law enforcement.
