Migration Advisory Committee and Technical Advisory Board

My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department (Theresa May) has today made the following Written Ministerial Statement. I am announcing today that my department will shortly commence the first triennial review of the Migration Advisory Committee and the Technical Advisory Board. Triennial reviews of non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) are part of the Government's commitment to ensuring accountability in public life. I will announce the findings of the review later this year.
