Immigration
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to extend the minimum notice period given before introducing changes to the Immigration Rules.
Answered by Mike Tapp
It is our usual practice to observe the recommended minimum 21 day convention between laying and implementation of Immigration Rules changes and we have no plans to change this. There may be times where adherence to the 21 day convention is not appropriate, for example were doing so may pose a risk to border security. In those instances, justification will be fully documented in the accompanying Explanatory Memorandum.
