Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential (a) economic and (b) social impact of uncontrolled migration on communities.

The Home Office’s Immigration White paper, published on 12 May, sets out proposed reforms in a wide range of areas to restore control to the immigration system, after the chaos inherited from the previous government, when the level of net migration rose to more than 900,000 per year, and when 400 asylum hotels were in use across the country, at a cost of almost £9 million per day.
