Undocumented Migrants: Organised Crime
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 14 February 2025 to Question 30375 on Undocumented Migrants: Organised Crime, when the new irregular migration sanctions regime will come into effect.
Answered by Stephen Doughty
The Government is required to lay secondary legislation before Parliament to introduce a new sanctions regime, which is expected to come into force within the year.
Given that the proposed regime will be the first of its kind, it is vital that we take the time to make sure the legislation that underpins it is lawful and operates effectively to disrupt the gangs' business model.
