Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of its Border Security Assessment being conducted at the level of individual countries rather than on a uniform basis.

The Home Office keeps its visa regimes under regular review. Regimes are assessed on a country by country basis. The Home Office takes various factors into account when assessing regimes. These include the immigration, crime and
security risks posed by each country.
