Written Question
Marriage of Convenience
Monday 21st July 2014

Asked by: Liam Fox (Conservative - North Somerset)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans she has to implement the recommendations of the Independent Chief Inspector's report on the Rights of European Citizens and their Spouses to Come to the UK, published on 19 June 2014, on sham marriages among non-EEA nationals in order to gain UK residency.

Answered by Karen Bradley

The Chief Inspector’s report contained 10 recommendations; six were accepted, two were accepted in part and the remaining two were not accepted. A detailed response from the Home Office was also published on 19 June 2014 on the Chief Inspector’s website and on gov.uk.

We have already implemented or started implementation of the eight recommendations accepted or accepted in part.
