European Convention on Human Rights: Undocumented Migrants
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the European Convention on Human Rights on levels of illegal immigration.
- Answer
-
We assess that current ECHR interpretation has undermined our Immigration Rules and effective immigration control.
The Immigration, Asylum and Appeals Bill, introduced on the 30 June, will therefore, deliver a fundamental reset of the balance between individual Article 8 rights and the public interest.
