Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Prime Minister, when he plans to respond to the letter from the hon. Member for Rhondda dated 18 April 2023.

I refer the hon. Member to the letter from the Immigration Minister (my right hon. Friend, the Member for Newark) of 25 April, which serves as a substantive reply to the points the hon. Member raised in his letters of 18 April.

Regretfully, due to an administrative error, the reply was not clearer that the letter was being sent in response to both his letters.

A copy of that reply is in the Library (Deposited paper DEP2023-0421).
