To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will commission research into the (a) role of (i) Russia (ii) Belarus (iii) Iran (iv) China and (v) Yemen in the migration of people and (b) potential impact of that migration on national security.

Answer

Tackling irregular migration is a key focus for this government and we regularly research and review the drivers behind it to inform our response.
