- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the likelihood of an increase in the prison population as a result of the introduction of new offences and longer prison sentences under the Nationality and Borders Act 2022.
- Answer
-
The Home Office has worked with the Ministry of Justice in assessing the impact on the prison population as a result of the new and amended offences in the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, with a likely increase in the mid hundreds. Prosecutions are just one of a range of measures seeking to reduce the number of migrants placing their lives into the hands of people smugglers and taking unnecessary risks to travel to the UK.
