Immigration: Northern Ireland

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has had recent discussions with the Northern Ireland Executive on the forthcoming white paper on immigration.

Answer

The Home Office actively and regularly engages with the Devolved Governments at Ministerial level, and the Devolved Governments were invited to submit suggestions for inclusion in the Immigration White Paper (IWP), with further engagement taking place ahead of its publication.

The IWP, which was published on 12 May 2025, links migration with skills policy for all parts of the UK, and we will continue to work with the Devolved Governments as we move forward. A copy of the IWP has been placed in the House of Commons Library.
