Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether an impact assessment has been undertaken of the proposed changes to the Office of the Immigration Service Commissioner’s fee structure, including the impact on charitable immigration advice services.

The Home Office together with the Office of the Immigration Service Commissioner (OISC) ran the fees consultation for a period of 12 weeks, which closed on 5 June 2024. The consultation was designed to help best understand the impact of proposals to amend the structure of the fees charged by the OISC to its registered advisers, and to minimise the risks of any adverse impact. The findings from the consultation are currently under review.
