Question

To ask His Majesty's Government which proposals in Restoring Order and Control (CP1418), published on 17 November, will be subject to consultation and what will be the timing of any such consultations.

Answer

Three of the measures in ‘Restoring Order and Control’ will be subject to consultation. They are:

  • Exploring a change to taxpayer-funded benefits to prioritise access for those who are making an economic contribution to the UK.
  • The process for enforcing the removal of families, including children, and
  • The implementation of the provisions of the Immigration Act 2016, which allow the removal of support from families who have exhausted all appeals and are not cooperating with the returns process, provided there is no genuine obstacle to their departure.

Other areas will involve engagement with relevant stakeholders.

Updates on these consultations will follow in due course.
