Asylum and Immigration
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the National Asylum Stakeholder Forum is consulted on the development of immigration and asylum policy.
Answered by Alex Norris
The Home Office maintains regular engagement with a wide range of stakeholders on asylum and immigration matters. Their input is valued; however, external advice is considered advisory and does not determine policy.
Ministers are responsible for setting Home Office policy.
