Global Compact for Migration
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the UN Global compact on migration, what plans the UK has to take in additional migrants in 2019.
- Answer
-
The UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is a legally non-binding document that respects the sovereignty of all countries to manage their own borders and to implement migration policies which respond to their national context. The UK is not legally bound to any new commitments.
Migration to the UK is influenced by various factors, including the UK’s visa regimes with third countries, as well as the free movement of EEA nationals, which will end once we leave the European Union.
