Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what events officials and Ministers in his Department have attended as part of the Government consultation of stakeholders on the future immigration system.

Following the publication of the Government’s White Paper ‘The UK’s future skills-based immigration system’ (Cm9722) on 19 December 2018, Ministers and officials are undertaking an extensive year long engagement programme. We have already delivered over 100 events in every nation of the UK, reaching almost 1500 stakeholders. These events have included representatives from many sectors of the UK economy including business, hospitality, tourism, agriculture, health and social care. We have also established five advisory groups which meet regularly to consider in detail the policy, design and implementation of our proposals. The membership of these groups is available on gov.uk.
