This month the Institute for Government has published two insight reports on the impact of Brexit: “Managing migration after Brexit” looks at how the UK’s withdrawal from the EU will affect migration, sets out a case that the Home Office is not ready or able to meet the challenge of ending free movement. The report outlines a six-point plan to government on managing migration after Brexit, these being that:
- The Government must agree clear objectives for the new immigration system after Brexit.
- The Home Secretary must update Parliament each year on how far those objectives are met.
- Immigration policy should be based on an understanding of the social and economic role that migrants play in the UK, rather than net migration targets. The Home Secretary should publish a comprehensive data strategy to make this analysis possible.
- The Home Secretary should legislate to simplify immigration rules.
- The Migration Advisory Committee should be more independent of the Home Office, reflecting its increasing importance.
- The Home Secretary should immediately launch the review of the department that was promised last year.
