Border Security, Asylum and Immigration BillContribution
The Bill does not extend this flexibility to family reunion, but there are alternative solutions, such as working with international partners like the International Organization for Migration, where that has been used in exceptional circumstances. My colleagues at the Home Office and I continue to assess whether broader policy changes are needed to balance that genuine humanitarian requirement with the genuine security concern and genuine need to ensure that those who need that flexibility have it.
