Immigration: Enforcement
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's announcement on 23 January of a cross-government ministerial task force on immigration enforcement, whether that task force will conduct joint investigations with labour market enforcement authorities.
- Answer
-
The increase in enforcement comes as the Home Office establishes the UK’s first cross-government ministerial taskforce on immigration enforcement, which will ensure every available power across government is utilised to support law enforcement activity to identify and reduce illegal migrants in the UK, and ensure only those eligible can work, receive benefits or access public services.
The taskforce will go further and faster to prevent the abuse of our laws and borders and crack down on individuals exploiting the generosity of the UK taxpayer. Further information will be provided in due course.
