Question to the Home Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with other European countries about tackling levels of immigration.
His Majesty’s Government continues to enhance our cooperation on migration with partners across Europe, and beyond.
UK Ministers and officials continue to raise these issues in bilateral and multilateral discussions with both our European partners and with countries outside of Europe. This Government has emphasised that tackling organised immigration crime is a Europe-wide issue; our cooperation with France saw small boats crossings reduce by 36% in 2023 when compared to 2022, and the signing of a landmark joint communiqué between the Prime Minister and his Albanian counterpart saw 5,000 Albanians returned to Albania in 2023.
