Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what international agreements, if any, they are developing with other countries to try to reduce net migration to the UK; and when they anticipate any such agreements being concluded.

The Government’s Plan for Change sets out our ambition to secure borders and control immigration.

We are committed to strengthening existing relationships with international partners, including resetting our relationship with the EU and further deepening our co-operation with France, Germany and Italy. We have also been seeking out new international partnerships, and most recently signed a new agreement with the Government of Iraq to fast-track the repatriation of individuals with no legal right to remain in the UK.

We continue to have discussions with partners across the globe, strengthening our collaborative efforts to address migration challenges.
