Immigration: Scotland

Asked by John LamontConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 21 October 2024UIN 9526

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a bespoke immigration route for Scotland.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

The Government has no plans to devolve immigration policy or introduce a Scottish visa scheme. We are focussed on having an immigration system that works in the interests of the whole of the United Kingdom.

The Government has not tasked the MAC to look at the issue of Scottish visas and have no plans to do so.
