Migrant Workers: Visas
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assurance she can provide that her Department is able to identify visa holders who have ceased complying with the conditions attached to their leave.
- Answer
-
The Home Office assesses the effectiveness of its visa compliance and enforcement activity through intelligence, operational outcomes, data analysis and compliance activity. Immigration Enforcement has Immigration Compliance and Enforcement teams across the UK that identify suspected breaches and take proportionate action. This activity supports both the detection of non-compliance and the deterrence of future breaches.
A combination of intelligence-led operations, data analysis, data sharing with relevant partners and compliance visits helps the Department identify visa holders who may have ceased to comply with the conditions of their leave. Where a breach is established, action may include curtailment of leave, removal from the UK or prosecution, where appropriate.
