Migration and asylum

Inquiry

Following the announcement that a General Election will be held on 4 July, Select Committees will be unable to meet from 24 May and will cease to exist from 30 May until after the General Election. This work has therefore closed

The Committee is carrying out an umbrella inquiry looking at the latest developments in Government policy on migration and asylum.

In addition to the regular evidence sessions the Committee held a session in October 2022 looking at Channel crossings.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was 12:00pm on 5 July 2022.
