Consultation on the New Plan for Immigration
This consultation ran from 3:00pm on 24 March 2021 to 11:45pm on 6 May 2021.
The UK Government has set out its New Plan for Immigration
Full details of that plan have been published in the Government’s New Plan for Immigration, which can be accessed here. This plan will help to build a new fair, but firm asylum and illegal migration system.
The objectives of the Plan are to:
- Increase the fairness and efficacy of our system so that we can better protect and support those in genuine need of asylum;
- Deter illegal entry into the UK, thereby breaking the business model of criminal trafficking networks and protecting the lives of those they endanger; and
- Remove more easily from the UK those with no right to be here.
To inform the proposals set out in the New Plan for Immigration, and ensure we can deliver effective legislative change across the system, the UK Government are, from 24th March 2021, initiating a 6-week comprehensive consultation and engagement process to listen to a wide range of views from stakeholders and sectors, as well as members of the public. This consultation is being undertaken on behalf of the UK Government by independent insight consultancy, BritainThinks.
