Public Sector: Migrants

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 10 October (HL Deb, col 105), what assessment they have made of the impact on the infrastructure and public services of the UK of migrants from outside the UK staying for (1) 12 months or more, and (2) less than 12 months.

Answer

Assessments of public service impacts of migration have been considered in previous Home Office publications – ‘Social and Public Service Impacts of International Migration at the Local Level’ published in 2013; and Annex 6 of the Impact Assessment accompanying The Immigration and Nationality (Fees) Order 2016 provide examples of how these have previously been considered.
