Detail of outcome

The government’s response to the New Plan for Immigration consultation has now been published. 

We have also published a report on the outcome of a review of legal routes from the EU for protection claimants including family reunion of unaccompanied children. This discharges the government’s duty from section 3(5)(b) of the Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Act 2020.

Original consultation

Consultation description

The New Plan for Immigration has the following three objectives:

To increase the fairness and efficacy of our system so that we can better protect and support those in genuine need of asylum
To deter illegal entry into the UK, thereby breaking the business model of criminal trafficking networks and protecting the lives of those they endanger
To remove more easily from the UK those with no right to be here

This policy statement is accompanied by an engagement and consultation process that will run for 6 weeks from 24 March 2021.

We want to hear a wide range of views and perspectives, from stakeholders and members of the public. To achieve this, we invite you to register and participate in our online questionnaire to provide your views. To participate please use the link below.
