Inquiry

The Government’s stated purpose for the Bill is to improve UK border security and strengthen the asylum and immigration system by creating a framework of new and enhanced powers and offences that, when taken together, reinforce, strengthen and connect capabilities across the relevant government and law enforcement partners which make up the UK’s border security, asylum and immigration systems.
