Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her Department's news story entitled Immigration enforcement surge since pledge to tackle illegal working, published on 23 January 2023, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential effect of that announcement on people with section 3 leave to remain status.

Immigration enforcement focuses its activity on those in the UK who are abusing our laws. Individuals with section 3c leave are lawfully in the UK and are not liable for enforcement action unless they breach the conditions of that leave.
