Immigration
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing legislation to ensure the supremacy of domestic law in all immigration and asylum matters.
- Answer
-
There is no need to do so: the UK’s immigration and asylum system operates within domestic law, over which Parliament is sovereign.
We will legislate to reform our approach to the application of Article 8 ECHR in the immigration system, as set out in the Immigration White Paper. This will ensure the correct balance is struck between individual rights and the wider public interest in controlling migration.
