The Nationality and Borders Bill is part of the Government’s New Plan for Immigration, which will deliver the most comprehensive reform of the asylum system in decades.
A public consultation on the Plan was held earlier this year. The Government published its response to the consultation in July, and this can be found on the GOV.UK website: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/new-plan-for-immigration.
The Government regularly engages with a number of NGOs as we develop and implement policies. We will continue to engage with individuals and groups as we take forward the Bill and deliver the New Plan for Immigration.
